Collix sp. 18718  


Collix sp. 18718 (holotype)


A single rather worn male (13mm) of a possible new species was taken at 300m on G. Santubong near Kuching in Sarawak. The facies is much as in ghosha or rufidorsata but more contrasted, less grey-brown. The underside is similar to that of rufidorsata but the fasciae are more broken, punctate. The coremata in the abdomen are small as in those species, but the genitalia have distinctive features, particularly the arc of setae running basad from the valve apex. This is more developed in C. examplata Warren (New Guinea, Seram) but this is a larger species with the more basal pair of coremata in the abdomen well developed.
