TYPE LOCALITY: “ Insula Bonae Fortunae (Borneo) , Provincia Sarawak [ Bona Fortuna Island, Sarawak Province, Borneo]” ( Rondani 1875c: 421 ). TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂ , lectotype (missing hind-leg) ( MSNG ): Sarawak / Typus / Myiophthiria [ sic !] reduvioides / reduvioides Rndn. / Myiophthiria reduvioides Rndn. , Typus! PARALECTOTYPE NOT EXAMINED: 1 ♂ ( MZUF : Box 66): Myiophthyria [ sic !] R. / reduvioides Rnd. / 3387 / Paratype reduvioides Rndn. , ♂ , T. C. Maa, [19]62. CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Maa 1977a: 411 ). REMARKS: Rondani (1875c: 464) described Myophthiria reduvioides , without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being two specimens in the type series found in this study, from material collected by G. Doria and O. Beccari. He later ( Rondani 1878a: 154 ) reported having some specimens: “ specimina aliqua observata [I observed some specimens]”. Guiglia (1957: 194) reported a “ holotype ” in the MSNG without knowing of an additional male in the MZUF, which brings the original type series to two specimens . In his original description Rondani did not explicitly refer to a single specimen therefore Guiglia’s “ holotype ” specimen must be considered as the lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.6). Maa (1963: 61) reported the “ lectotype ♂ (Genova Mus .) fixed by Guiglia (1957: 195) ” and considered the MZUF male as belonging to the type series. The additional male in the MZUF not examined by Guiglia is a paralectotype .
