Remarks

• Biology: This species is closely associated with ants, probably Dolichoderus gibbifer Emmery, in Java.
• General Remarks: The original description of this species by Reyne (1954, p. 250) was based on illustrations prepared by P. van der Goot in Java, probably in 1915 (see discussion by Reyne, 1954). Williams (1978) reported that no specimens are available. Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Reyne (1954).
