Fulgora whiteheadi gunjii Satô & Nagai 1994: 308 View in CoL , figs 2, 9 (Type in EUM) [described, illustrated and compared with P. whiteheadi View in CoL and P. effusus View in CoL , the latter mentioned as “ F. whiteheadi viridicastanea View in CoL ”].

Pyrops whiteheadi gunjii View in CoL – Nagai & Porion, 1996: 26, pl. 17, fig. 210 [transferred to Pyrops View in CoL ; listed, illustrated]. — Liang 1998: 45 [listed, erroneous mention of new combination already proposed by Nagai & Porion (1996)].

Diagnosis

In addition to the characters defining the effusus group, the species can be recognized by: (1) head yellow-brown with apical half of cephalic process blue (often faded to green in collection specimens) ( Fig. 3 View Fig D–E); (2) pro- and mesonotum yellow-brown ( Fig. 3A View Fig ); (3) tegmina dark blue-green on corium, with small yellow-white spots; on basal half, spots slightly tranverse and rarely coalescent, spots barely distinct on membrane ( Fig. 3A View Fig ); (4) tegmina with large pale yellow-brown patch at nodal line and apical margin broadly infuscate ( Fig. 3A View Fig ).

Material examined

Type material

Holotype ♂ (examined on photographs): [Embalut, E. Kalimantan, INDONESIA, Sep. 22. 1988] [Holotype Fulgora whiteheadi gunjii, M. Sato & S. Nagai, 1994 ] ( EUM).

Note: Satô & Nagai (1994) stated that the type was collected by S. Okada and suggested that the type location was probably “Ambalut, Samarinda” rather than “Embalut”.
