Tegotettix corniculatus celebensis: Günther 1937 View in CoL .

Tegotettix celebensis: Günther 1938a View in CoL , Blackith 1992.

Type material examined. 1♀ SYNTYPE Celebes: Latimodjong-Geb. Oeroe 800 m VIII.1930. Leg. Heinrich ( MfN). Photographs of the female syntype are available online in OSF. Günther (1937) reported one more syntype specimen from Südcelebes: Samanga (XI.1895. Leg. Fruhstorfer) deposited in MTD. OSF lists three syntypes, which is incorrect—the specimen in OSF listed to be deposited in National Museum Szczecin is probably the same specimen as the one reported to be in MTD.

Type locality: Indonesia: Sulawesi: South Sulawesi Province: Latimojong Mt.: Oeroe.

Notes. The species is morphologically similar to T. siebersi from Borneo. It was originally described as a subspecies of T. corniculatus , but probably Günther (1937) was not familiar with morphology of T. corniculatus type specimens. This species is more related to T. armatus , T. bufocrocodil and T. tuberculatus than to T. corniculatus , which is probably not member of this genus. It has much lower pronotal projections than T. armatus and T. bufocrocodil .
