Auriculoceryx
kannegieteri Rothschild comb. n. (Nias I.).
Trichaeta kannegieteri Rothschild,
1910, Novit. zool, 17: 431.
These two species may be sister-species. They resemble transitiva in
facies, having the abdominal bands white, though the distal one is lost in kannegieteri
and some Sumatran specimens (e.g. the holotype of klossi). The uncus
is more sinuous than in the Bornean species, with the basal portion deepened
vertically, rather than expanded laterally. The uncus is relatively much smaller
in kannegieteri than in basalis.
