Remarks.
Five female specimens in total from around
Sabah
. One of the female specimens was identified by M. Muzamil (2011) as the
holotype
of
Rhomboptera juharii
but examination of the specimens suggest that this is probably
R. honorabilis
. The major difference of this specimen was the smaller habitus size. The introduced species name was also not valid, as there was no apparent published record of this name.
