Remarks. Ethmostigmus relictuswas described by Chamberlin (1944b)from “«Luid[?]», Dutch New Guinea[ West Papua Province]” on the basis of one specimen. According to the author the species is morphologically close to E. rubripesin the form of the “pseudopleural [=coxopleural] process” but differs from the latter “in having but two spines above [=dorsal] with these low and blunt, almost abortive. It differs also in lacking a tarsal spine [=spur] on the 20th pair of legs”. All these “differences” fall well within the intraspecific variability of E. r. rubripes, so this dubious form has not been included in the list of species. According to Bonato et al.(2016) E. relictusis known also from JavaIsland ( Indonesia) but we were not able to find where this record comes from.
