Lithocolletis pentadesma — Meyrick (1919: 230).

Neolithocolletis pentadesma View in CoL — Kumata (1993: 8–10, Figs 3A–C View FIGURE 3 , 5A, B View FIGURES 5–10 , 33A, 35B View FIGURES 33–38 , 43D View FIGURES 39–44 ; 1995: 109), Sajap et al. (1996: 153–163), De Prins & De Prins (2005: 214), Gerlach & Matyot (2006: 23), Bai et al. (2009: 502).

Diagnosis. Neolithocolletis pentadesma can be easily distinguished from other species in the genus by the shallowly concave subcostal part of the cucullus. The species differs in larval characters from the type species N. hikomonticola in the presence of the ventral prolegs on the third to fifth abdominal segments instead of two pairs of ventral prolegs, one on the third and one on the fourth segment ( Kumata 1993).

Material examined. Holotype (abdomen lacking): [ Indonesia]: [1] ‘Type’; [2] ‘ Buitenzorg / Java / [e.l.] Pterocarpus indicus / [leg.] Roepke / ix.1918, 1919-10’; [3] ‘ Lithocolletis / pentadesma / Meyr.[ick] / TYPE’, in BMNH.

Paratypes: 2♂, 2♀, 1 specimen (only head and left forewing present): [Indonesia]: Java, Buitenzorg, [e.l.] Pterocarpus indicus , [leg.] Roepke, ix.1918, 1919-10, gen. prep. De Prins 3794♀, in BMNH.

Additional material: 1♀ e.l. Pterocarpus indicus leaf mines, Seychelles, Fregate island, 4.x.2002, leg. J. Gerlach, gen. prep. De Prins 3796♀, in CUMZ.

Redescription. Adult ( Figs 24 View FIGURES 21–26 , 149, 150 View FIGURES 147–150 , 295 View FIGURES 295–297 ). Forewing length: 1.7–2.3 mm (see Kumata 1993: 8–10).

Host plant(s). Fabaceae : Pterocarpus indicus Willd. ( Meyrick 1919: 230; Kumata 1993: 10, 1995: 109), P. javanicus (Miq.) Kuntze ( Robinson et al. 2001: 274).

Distribution. Oriental region: Indonesia (Java) ( Meyrick 1919: 230), Malaysia (Sarawak, Selangor), Philippines (Luzon) ( Kumata 1993: 10); Afrotropical region: Seychelles (Fregate, Mahé) ( Gerlach & Matyot 2006: 23).

Note: The record of Neolithocolletis pentadesma from Hong Kong ( De Prins & De Prins 2005: 214; Robinson et al. 2011) is an unsubstantiated record ( Bai et al. 2009: 502).
