Ectatops subjectus Walker, 1873

( Figs. 45, 49 ) Material examined. INDONESIA: SULAWESI: SULAWESI TENGAH PROVINCE: Lindu National Park, Palu Palolo, 25.- 27.viii.1990, 2 JJ 2♀♀, A. Riedel leg. (ZSMC). SULAWESI TENGGARA PROVINCE: Butong Island, South Lasalimu region, vii.2006, 2 JJ 6 ♀♀, local collector (ZJPC).

Variability. STEHLÍK & JINDRA (2006b) mentioned that the colouration of this species is rather variable; this variability was described based on specimens from Palu Palolo. On the other hand, the newly collected specimens from Butong Island have a uniform colouration, very similar to both E. sulawesiensis and E. riedeli sp. nov.

Distribution. So far known only from the main island of Sulawesi. First record for the Butong Island.
