Amaurodera discoidea PACE, 2008

( Fig. 159 )

Amaurodera discoidea PACE, 2008a: 121 f., partim.

Type material examined: Paratype ♀: “BORNEO, Brunei, Ficus, Temburong, Kuala Belalong , KBFSC, 16.IV.1995, leg. Borcherding / Paratypus Amaurodera discoidea m., det. R. Pace 1996 / Amaurodera discoidea sp. n., det. R. Pace 1996” (cAss). For additional paratypes see the section on A. bulbosa below .

Comment: The type material of A. discoidea is composed of a male holotype and a female paratype from Brunei and of four paratypes from “Sabah, Poring Hot Springs, 500 m ” ( PACE 2008a). A comparison of the type specimens from Brunei and from Sabah revealed that they are not conspecific. Those from Sabah belong to A. bulbosa . Thus, A. discoidea is currently known only from Brunei. The spermatheca of the paratype from Brunei is illustrated in Fig. 159 .
