Polydictya javanensis SCHMIDT, 1910: 311 View in CoL (description). — SCHMIDT, 1912: 62 (in comparative note between Polydictya View in CoL , Holodictya Gerstaecker, 1895 View in CoL and Coelodictya Jacobi, 1910 View in CoL ). — METCALF, 1947: 86 (catalogued). — LALLEMAND, 1963: 17 (keyed). — NAGAI & PORION, 1996: 14 (junior synonym of P. robusta Gerstaecker, 1895 View in CoL ), pl. 2 fig. 25 (syntype of P. javanensis View in CoL illustrated under the name P. robusta View in CoL ).
NOTE
The species was synonymized under P. robusta by NAGAI & PORION (1996), a species originally described from Sumatra ( GERSTAECKER, 1895) but without further explanation. The examination of the type specimens and male terminalia leave no doubt that they represent two distinct species, hence P. javanensis is here reinstated as a valid species name.
DIAGNOSIS
The closest species are P. robusta and P. sumatrana Schmidt, 1910 from Sumatra. However, P. javanensis can be separated
1. from P. sumatrana (see illustration in NAGAI & PORION, 1996: fig. 23) by its green-brown abdomen (bright red in P. sumatrana ).
2. from P. robusta by its pronotum yellow in posterior portion (entirely brown in P. robusta ), yellow-brown head (olivaceous in P. robusta ) and the characters of the male terminalia, including the more or less straight laterodorsal lamina of the endosomal process (ep – Fig. 7 E View Fig ; sinuate in P. robusta – Fig. 13 E View Fig ).

SUPPLEMENTARY DESCRIPTION
Male terminalia ( Fig. 7 View Fig )
Pygofer (Py – Fig. 7 View Fig A-B) strongly higher than long (without lateral lobe), with posterior margin showing a broad, elongate, laminate lateral lobe (llp) in dorsal half, strongly incurved and with dorsal margin slightly twisted, directed dorso-posteromesad, posterior margin of process rounded; anterior margin of pygofer concave in lateral view ( Fig. 7A View Fig ). Anal tube (An – Fig. 7 View Fig A-C) in dorsal view elongate, 1.43 times longer than broad, with lateral margins moderately diverging from base towards apex, then abruptly widening in distal portion and broadest at 2/3 of total length ( Fig. 7 B View Fig ); in lateral view, strongly curved ventrally and slightly sinuate, directed posteroventrad, in distal portion (area of anal opening) ( Fig. 7A View Fig ); apical margin slightly concave in posterior view ( Fig. 7 C View Fig ). Gonostyli in lateral view ( Fig. 7A View Fig ) elongate, about 1.79 times as long as high with posterior half broader; strong lateral hook (lhg) directed posteroventrad at about half-length, under dorsal margin; apical margin obliquely rounded with dorsal and ventral angles rounded; dorsal margin slightly sinuate and ventral margin sinuate; basal hump (bhg) weakly marked. Aedeagus ( Fig. 7 View Fig D-E) with endosomal processes (ep) elongate with apex curved mesad and slightly twisted, and apical margin sinuate; dorsolateral lamina on distal 2/3, widening towards apex and with lateral margin rather weakly, evenly curved and irregularly dentate, the teeth more acute in basal portion; lamina more or less straight in lateral view.
