Polydictya katsurakoae Nagai & Porion, 1996: 13 (listed), 28 (description), pl. 2, fig. 29 (habitus illustrated).

Polydictya katsurakoae – Chew Kea Foo et al. 2010: 59 (comparative note). non Polydictya katsurakoae – Nagai & Porion 2002: 9 (erroneous record from Wowoni Island based on specimens of P. basirubra sp. nov.).

Diagnosis

(1) Tegmina brown, tinged with reddish ventrally, and with whitish spots: large one at apex of clavus, 3 along claval suture, 3–4 along costal margin and 3 on disc of membrane ( Fig. 4 A–B); (2) hind wings without basal red patch ( Fig. 4A ); (3) frons regularly rounded in dorsal view, not projecting anteriorly ( Fig. 4C ), yellow-brown ( Fig. 4D ); (4) anterior tibiae not laminate ( Fig. 4B ); (5) abdomen red dorsally ( Fig. 4A ); (6) genital segments red.

Type material examined

Holotype

♀: [Palolo, VI.91, C. Sulawesi, Col. Thierry Porion] [ Polydictya kasturakoae n. sp., Holotype ♀, Nagai- Porion 1996] [ EUM type No. 736] ( EUM)

Paratype

1 ♀: [Palolo, VI.91, C. Sulawesi, Indonesia, Col. Thierry Porion] [ Polydictya kasturakoae n. sp., Paratype ♀, Nagai et Porion 1994] ( MHNL).

Coordinates of type locality

Palolo: 1°39’S 119°54’E.

Notes

The holotype and paratype were erroneously stated to be males in the original description ( Nagai & Porion 1996).

Nagai & Porion (1996) stated that the paratype was deposited in MNHN but it is currently in MHNL as most specimens of Thierry Porion’s collection.

Measurements and ratios

LT (extrapolated): ♀ (n = 2): 31.2–31.6 mm; LTg/BTg = 2.86; BV/LV = 7.56; LF/BF = 0.72.

Distribution

Known from Central Sulawesi ( Fig. 7 ).
