Taxonomy:
This is by far the largest species of
Baiocis
, the male measuring
4.7 mm
, and the female 5.0 mm long. Only one male and one female
syntypes
are known (NMW, examined) collected in an unspecified locality in Southeast Borneo. As noted by
Wood and Bright (1992)
, Schedl's (1978) citation of a male
holotype
and female
allotype
is invalid. To ensure correct and consistent application of the name, the male in NMW bearing the labels: Borneo/ [male sign]/
Type
Platypus sublunaris

Crossotarsus sublunaris

/
Holotypus
Crossotarsus sublunaris Schedl
, is here designated
lectotype
. The female
syntype
becomes a
paralectotype
. Schedl's (1937) original description fails to mention that the first ventrite has a small, median triangular spine projecting over the base of the second ventrite, which is unarmed. The male metanepisternum bears two minute tubercles anteriorly.
