Miopsalis mulu ( Shear, 1993) View in CoL new comb.

Stylocellus mulu Shear, 1993: 182 –183 View in CoL , figs. 50–59.

Comments: Although a small, ovoid species with a deeply concave posterior gonostome and very large eyes, this species also has a distinct anal gland pore. Given its location in northeastern Borneo and the consistent recovery of similar species from this area as Miopsalis in molecular studies, its shape is best interpreted as simply convergent on Leptopsalis .

Material examined: Holotype, Male ( BMNH 1999.172 ), Malaysia, Borneo, Sarawak, Baram District , Gunung Mulu National Park 4th Division , elev. 1650 m, May-Jul 1978, col. P. Hammond.
