55) Borneratura mjobergi (Karny, 1925, Xiphidiopsis ) comb. n.

1♂ (all legs lost): BORNEO: SARAWAK / Kapit District / Merirai V., 30–/ 300m, VII-1–6-1958, T. Maa; Secondary Forest

Note. The male cercus is simple, basal half thick, tapering distal end, apical half bend upward, with 2 short acute processes on each side. Subgenital plate protruded at basal part, narrowing strongly toward apex, 2 distinct ridges run through, styli indistinct. It agrees with Karny’s picture of Xiphidiopsis mjobergi (1925: 47, Fig. 6c ) well. The apical segment of maxillary palpi nearly as long as subapical one, with enlarged apical part.
