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

Stylocellus kinabalu Shear, 1993: 184 View in CoL , figs. 69–78.

Comments: This small, ovoid species from Borneo lacks an anal gland pore and has other features which might normally place it in Leptopsalis , including a concave posterior gonostome, smooth second cheliceral second article, and large eyes. However, it strongly resembles a specimen collected from the same area that consistently places within Miopsalis in molecular phylogenies, and it appears to simply be highly convergent on Leptopsalis .

Material examined: Holotype, Male ( AMNH), Malaysia, Borneo, Sabah , Kinabalu National Park , H.Q., elev. 1500 m, 26 June 1976, col. M. Perranck.
