Dieuches schultheissi Breddin, 1906

( Figs. 29–30 )

Dieuches schultheissi Breddin, 1906: 330 . Holotype: ♀, [ Indonesia:] NO Sumatra, Tebing Tinggi; depository not stated.

Current status. Metochus schultheissi ( Breddin, 1906) , combination proposed tentatively by Eyles (1973: 37). Type material examined. Holotype: ♀, “N. O. Sumatra / Tebing-tinggi / Dr.Schultheiss.”, “Coll. Breddin”; pinned, left antennal segment IV lacking ( DEIC) ( Figs. 29–31 ).

Remarks. Although the number of the examined specimens was not given, the singular case of the German noun Stück in the original description ( Breddin 1906: 71) (“…beim vorliegenden Stück” = “…in the available specimen”) implicitly indicates that it was based on a single individual. The examined specimen is therefore considered as the holotype of D. schultheissi fixed by monotypy ( ICZN 1999, Art. 73.1.2). For further remarks see above under D. jacobsoni .
