semiscitus (Platynopus) Walker 1867a: 129 . [Figs 182–183]

Original data: “ a. Gilolo. Presented by W. W. Saunders, Esq.” [holotype]

HOLOTYPE ♀: red-margined disc; green-margined type disc; “Gil.”; “21. PLATYNOPUS SEMISCITUS .”; “NHMUK 010592433”. Left antenna missing; left humeral angle broken (Fig. 182).

NON-TYPE ♀: “ Platynopus semiscitus Walker’s catal.”; “Saunders 65. 13”; “Bac”; “NHMUK 010937665”. Fourth and fifth left and right antennomeres missing (Fig. 183) .

Current status: Montrouzierellus laetus (Walker, 1867) (synonymised by Distant 1900a: 63; see Kirkaldy 1909: 11; Thomas 1994: 187).

Notes: Walker had noted: “It has more affinity to P. dotatus than to P. laetus, and the three may perhaps be considered as varieties of one species.” Indeed, Distant (1900a: 63) synonymised Walker’s three species. For explanations concerning the extra specimen listed above, not mentioned in Walker’s (1867a) catalogue under this name, see above under P. dotatus).
