Borneomymar primitivum Huber, 2002: 49 (description, figs 5, 6).

Comment.

In Huber (2002) the female and male symbols in the material examined sections were inadvertently either deleted or were replaced by a question mark. All the specimens of the three species mentioned in that chapter were females except for 2 males on points and 2 males on slides of Borneomymar discus Huber from Malaysia, Sarawak, Gunung Buda. The brief description below complements the original description, which did not include antennal segment widths or hind wing measurements.

Description.
