Massicus fryi Gahan, 1890

Figs 57–59 .

Massicus fryi Gahan, 1890: 260 . Type locality: Borneo (according to the original description). Heffern, 2013: 10 (Borneo;? Thailand,? Myanmar).

MATERIAL. Holotype by monotypy, ♂ ( BMNH) ( Fig. 57 ), “Malaya, Massicus fryi Gahan , Type”, “Fry Coll. 1905.100.”, “ Massicus fryi Gahan / Type”, “Type” ( Fig. 58 ); 1♂ (cAM) ( Fig. 59 ), W Malaysia, Perak, Tapah Hills, 05.2018 (local collector); 1♂, 1♀ (cDH) (photographs), E Malaysia, Sabah, Crocker Range , 13.03.1999 (local collector); 1♂ (unknown collection) (photograph), “ Malaysia ”.

REMARKS. Until now, this species was reliably known only Borneo [ Gahan, 1890; Heffern, 2013; personal communication of Mr. Daniel J. Heffern], while it is noted with a question mark from Thailand and Myanmar [ Heffern, 2013].

Based on the material studied, M. fryi is reliably recorded here from Western Malaysia, as generally from Indochina, for the first time.

MORPHOLOGICAL NOTES. The body length of the holotype male and male from Malacca is 51 or 56.2 mm, the humeral width is 13 or 13.7 mm, respectively .

The body length of Bornean male and female is about 67 mm (personal communication of Mr. Daniel J. Heffern).

The antennae of male are not less than twice as long as body, usually even longer, in the female subequal to body length; antennomer 1 of female with a very coarse sculpture, like in the male.
