Ochterus thienemanni Jaczewski, 1935

Ochterus thienemanni Jaczewski, 1935: 480 –482 (description, key to species, illustrations). HOLOTYPE:, Indonesia: Sumatra: ‘Mittelsumatra, See von Singkarak, am Wasserfall von Panjingahan, Höhe 362 m’ [= Central Sumatra, Singkarak lake , Panjingahan waterfall, 362 m a.s.l.] (?ZMPA).

Ochterus thienemanni : NIESER & CHEN (1999): 90–91 (key to species, illustration); CHEN et al. (2005): 413 (checklist); POLHEMUS & POLHE- MUS (2012): 345, 352–355 (key to species, diagnosis, illustrations); POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS (2015): 208–209, 212 (key to species, illustrations).

Distribution. Oriental Region: Indonesia: Bali ( JACZEWSKI 1935, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2012), Java ( JACZEWSKI 1935, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2012), Sumatra ( JACZEWSKI 1935, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2012).

Note. The holotype was originally deposited in ZMPA, Warsaw, but it might have been lost during World War II when a large part of Jaczewski’s collection was destroyed (see JACZEWSKI 1949: 107–108, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS

2012: 354). Our attempt to contact ZMPA to investigate the whereabouts of the holotype has remained unanswered.

Previous records from New Guinea ( KORMILEV 1971, BAEHR 1990c, CHEN et al. 2005) represent misidentifications ( POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2012). The tentative identification of females from Sulawesi by NIESER & CHEN (1992) was later corrected to O. marginatus by NIESER & CHEN (1999); the species was listed from Sulawesi by CHEN et al. (2005) in error.
