Material examined. Indonesia: HOLOTYPE, Sulawesi, Dumoga-Bone N. P., March 1985 ( R. Ent. Soc. Lond., Project Wallace) ( BMNH). Dry mounted.

PARATYPES. Indonesia: 4, 4, same as holotype, Sulawesi, Dumoga-Bone N. P., March 1985 ; 1ml, same data as above but 11 July 1985, 230 m ; 1, same data but 19 July 1985, 400 m. ( BMNH). All material was collected by fogging .
