Liara (Unalianus) intermedia (Redtenbacher, 1891)

MATERIAL. Indonesia: Eastern Java, “ Java orient., Montes Tengger, 4000”, 1890, H .

Fruhstorfer, “N 130-97”, “69”, 2 ♂ ( ZIN); “ East Java, Tretes, Gunung Arjuna ”, 800–900 m ,

27.III 1995, 1 ♂, 1 ♀, S. Ingrisch (“ex ovo” 1995–1996), “ Oxystethus intermedius Redtenbacher, 1891 det. S. Ingrisch, 1996” ( ZIN); “ Java ”, “ Oxystethus intermed . Redt.”, “ Brunner

v. W. det.”, 2 ♂ ( ZIN) .

NOTE. This species was originally described from Tengger Mountains in the Eastern

Java. Thus , my first males are practically from the type locality of this taxon. Other specimens differ from them in the slightly or barely darker small area on upper part of anterior surface of epicranium (i.e. in the first males, this surface is light brown, but in the other specimens,

there is a small greenish grey area on light brown background); thus, these specimens may belong to different subspecies. Male cerci of all these specimens are very similar to those of

L. (L.) inaculeata and L. (U.) clavata , but cercal dorsoapical lobule in L. (U.) intermedia is with an angular apical projection (as in L. clavata ), and cercal ventroapical lobule is with one

(not two) roundly angular apex (almost as in L. inaculeata ).
