Treatment

Gonocnemis minutus Pic, 1915: 17 (original description).

Gonocnemis minutissimus Pic, 1916: 19 (original description), syn. nov.

Type localities. Gonocnemis minutus : Laos. Gonocnemis minutissimus : Cambodge.

Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ‘ Gonocnemis minutissimus Pic [white label with Pic’s handwriting] || [white label with barely legible handwriting] || type [handwritten label] || minutissimus Pic [handwritten label] || Holotype, Gonocnemis minutissimus Pic, 1916 [additional printed label] || MNHN:EC7010 [white printed label] || HOLOTYPE [red printed label]’ ( MNHN).

Remarks. Gonocnemis minutissimus Pic, 1916 was not evaluated in the revisions of the Oriental species of Gonocnemis ( ARDOIN 1964d, BREMER 2006) as both authors were unable to trace the type of G. minutissimus in MNHN. In the meantime the holotype was found in MNHN and forwarded to the first author for evaluation.

Comparison of material revealed that the holotype of G. minutissimus Pic, 1916 is only a relatively small specimen of G. minutus Pic, 1915 . The latter species is known from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
