Mucrochelifer borneoensis ( Ellingsen, 1901) View in CoL

Chelifer borneoensis Ellingsen 1901: 206 –208; Ellingsen 1914: 6 –7.

Mucrochelifer borneoensis (Ellingsen) View in CoL : Beier 1932b: 250 –251, figs 258–259; Harvey 1991: 518.

Distribution. Indonesia ("Borneo", Java; type locality); Myanmar; Papua New Guinea; Sri Lanka.

Previous record. Central Province: Peradeniya, under loose bark of Jackfruit tree ( Ellingsen 1914).

Remarks. Not found in the present study. The record of Mucrochelifer borneoensis by Ellingsen (1913) might be a misidentification. According to Ellingsen (1913), the Sri Lankan specimen, an adult male, was smaller than the type from Borneo. He further notes that the tarsal claws of leg I lacked teeth. Since the Sri Lankan specimen was a mature male, it should have possessed these characteristic teeth illustrated by Beier (1932b, fig 258).
