Tonkinbolus caudulanus

Description

39. Tonkinbolus caudulanus (Karsch, 1881)

Spirobolus caudulanus Karsch, 1881: 60 (D).

Spirobolus caudulanus —Preudhomme de Borre, 1884b: 73 (L); Pocock, 1889: 297 (D, R); 1893: 394 (D, R); Attems, 1936: 313 (L); Moritz and Fischer, 1975: 246 (L).

Trigoniulus caudulanus — Attems, 1914: 245 (L).

Tonkinbolus caudulanus — Hoffman, 1962: 772 (L, M); Jeekel, 2001c: 52 (L); Enghoff, 2005: 90 (L).

Records from Myanmar: King Island (Pocock 1889); Reef Island (Tavoy); South Tenasserim; Malewoon (Tenasserim); Plapoo (Mt Mooleyit, 1,200–1,400 m) (Pocock 1893). Based on the female holotype (Karsch 1881), kept in the Berlin Museum and revised by Hoffman (1962).

Remarks. Also found in Thailand (Karsch 1881).

Although Pocock (1889, 1893) recorded this species from several localities in southern Myanmar, its identity still remains uncertain because all material found contained females alone. Only the discovery and study of a male from Myanmar or Thailand can help address the issue in the future (Hoffman 1962).
