Zyras (Zyras) montanus ( BERNHAUER, 1915) View in CoL

Zyras (Zyras) variolatus PACE, 2003: 68 ; syn. nov.

Type material examined: Holotype ♂: “ MALAYSIA: PAHANG, Bukit Fraser (1000 m), Jeriau Waterfalls , 24/ XI/1987, S. Taiti e L. Bartolozzi / Holotypus Zyras variolatus m., det. R. Pace 1988 / Zyras variolatus sp. n., det. R. Pace 1988 / “La Specola”, Firenze, 7751 / Zyras montanus (Bernhauer) , det. V. Assing 2017” ( MZUF) .

Additional material examined: see type material of Z. pervariolosus .

Comment: The original description of Z. variolatus is based on a unique male from “ Malaysia, Pahang, Jerau Water Falls” ( PACE 2003). An examination of the holotype revealed that it is conspecific with Z. montanus , a species previously known only from Borneo. The male recently recorded as Z. variolatus from Kelantan ( ASSING 2017) is evidently a specimen at the lower end of the size range of Z. montanus and additionally distinguished from other examined specimens by a dark antennomere X.
