Genus Borneratura Gorochov, 2008

NOTE. This genus originally included the following true or possible Bornean species: B.

modesta Gorochov, 2008 (type species), B. lobata Gorochov, 2008 and B. sinuata Gorochov,

2008 from Trus Madi Mont of Sabah; B.? mjobergi (Karny, 1925) and B.? borneensis

(Karny, 1925) from Sarawak. Later, the latter species was returned to the genus Xiphidiopsis ,

and B. kinabaluana (Bey-Bienko, 1971) was transferred from the latter genus to Borneratura

(OSF). Here I support the reasonability of assigning B. mjobergi and B. kinabaluana to

Borneratura and transfer in this genus an additional species, B. sarawaca (Bey-Bienko,

1971), comb. n. (from Xiphidiopsis s. l.). However, B.? borneensis does not belong to

Xiphidiopsis s. l. exactly, and it must be compared with Rhinoteratura species.
