Hoplasoma rostripenne Allard, 1888

( Figs. 5 , 11 , 17 )

Haplosoma [sic!] rostripennis Allard, 1888: 328 (original description)

Hoplasoma rostripennis: Weise 1924: 18 (catalogue); Wilcox, 1973: 480 (catalogue); Kimoto 1990: 55 (catalogue); Medvedev 2000: 125 (key)

Type locality. “ Célèbes ” .

Type material. Lectotype ♀ ( MNHN), designated here, labelled: „Rostripennis / Celébes / ♀ [yellow label, h] // 1899 [vertically] / Ex-Musaeo / E. Allard [w, p] // Muséum Paris / Coll. Oberthur / ex E. Allard [yellow label, p] // TYPE [red label, p] // Haplosoma / Rostripennis All / Celebes [yellow label, h]“. The lectotype is provided with one additional, printed red label: „ LECTOTYPUS, / Haplosoma / rostripennis Allard, 1888 , / des. J. Bezdĕk 2006 “. The second syntype (♂) in Allard´s collection ( MNHN) bearing the labels: „Rostripennis / Celébes / ♂ [yellow label, h] // 1899 [vertically] / Ex-Musaeo / E. Allard [w, p]“ is unfortunately completely destroyed.

Additional material studied. 22 specimens — INDONESIA: SULAWESI : SULAWESI SELATAN PROV.: 4 ♂♂ 5 ♀♀, Bonthain [= Bantaeng, 5°32´S 119°57´E], 1882, C. Ribbe leg. ( ZMHB, SMTD, ZMUH) ; 1 ♂, same data, 1883 ( ZMUH) ; 2 ♂♂ 1 ♀, Macassar [= Makassar, 5°7´S 119°24´E] ( BMNH) ; 1 ♂ 1 ♀, Gowa distr. , Bontorio, Drs. Sarasin leg. ( SMTD) ; 2 ♀, S. Celebes, Samanga , xi.1895, H. Fruhstorfer leg. ( SMTD, ZMUH) ; SULAWESI BARAT PROV.: 1 ♂, Tjamba [= Camba, 3°32´S 118°56´E], Drs. Sarasin leg. ( SMTD) ; PROVINCE?: 3 ♂♂ 1 ♀, Celebes ( BMNH) .

Distribution. The exactly known localities are placed in Sulawesi Selatan and Sulawesi Barat provincies.

Comments. Described from unknown number of specimens. In MNHN housing the Allard´s collection I have found 2 syntypes altogether (male and female). Unfortunately, the male is missing from the pin and is completely destroyed. Thus the female is designated here as lectotype.
