Hoplosaenidea dohertyi (Jacoby, 1894), comb. nov.

(Fig. 108)

Platyxantha dohertyi Jacoby, 1894a: 328 (original description)

Type material examined. SYNTYPES: 1♀, ‘Type / H. T.[white round label with red collar, p] // S. E. Borneo / Doherty [w, h] // Jacoby Coll. / 1909- 28a [w, p] // Platyxantha / dohertyi / Jac. [b, h]’ (BMNH); photograph of 1 ♂, ‘Tameang Lajang / S. E. Borneo [w, p] // Platyxantha / Dohertyi Jac. / ex Tring coll. [b, h] // Type. [p] / 18345 [r, h]’ (MCZ).

Comments. Platyxantha dohertyi was classified in different genera by various authors. WILCOX (1973) catalogued it in Polexima, MOHAMEDSAID (1998a) transferred it to Hoplosaenidea based on examination of a syntype in the MCZ, and finally MOHAMEDSAID (2004) transferred it to Taumacera without any explanation. Based on the study of a female syntype deposited in the BMNH and a photograph of the male syntype from the MCZ, I fully concur with MOHAMEDSAID (2004) that Platyxantha dohertyi belongs to Hoplosaenidea . The reason why Mohamedsaid transferred it later to Taumacera is unknown to me.
