Morion gracilis Jordan, 1894 View in CoL (Timor): not collected.

Morion cf. simulatum Jordan, 1894 .— 1 ex. “S slope Kablaki NW Same 8°57'44"S 125°36'40"E weedY gdns/coffee/rf trees 970–1020m 26.v.2012 C. Reid TL2012/086/544” K402683 (AMS). The specimen is tentatively referred to the Timorese species M. simulatum ( Jordan, 1894) . Because species of Morion View in CoL are difficult to distinguish and no specimen for comparison was available, the identification is preliminarY.

Prosopogmus sp. 7 ex. “c3k W Maubara 8:37'14"S 125:10'45"E at light, clearing in closed forest 60m 20.xi.2011 V. Kessner, C.

Reid Site 46” K404638 ( AMS). This predominantly Australian genus urgently needs revision. Besides a few species described from New Guinea, a number of undescribed species are known to occur on that island. The specimens from Timor are undeterminable at present GoogleMaps .
