Tribe Zuphiini , subtribe Planetina

The tribal status of the subtribe Planetina is controversial. It is either included in Zuphiini , or in Galeritini (e.g., Bouchard et al., 2011). For the present paper, however, the genus Planetes is included in Zuphiini .

Planetes sp. — 2 ex. “Tutuala comm twr, 3k E Tutuala 8°23'57"S 27°17'02"E dry rf on Is c 200m TL2012/003/004 yellow pans 25.v.2012 ” K402685–686 (AMS). The Oriental species of the genus Planetes Macleay, 1825 urgently need a revision, whereas the New Guinean and Australian species are moderately well known ( Darlington, 1968; Baehr, 1986). The specimens from Timor do not belong to any described Australian and New Guinean species. Therefore at present theY cannot be identified to species.
