Stigmatops deningeri Stresemann

Stigmatops deningeri Stresemann, 1912c: 6 (Gŭnŭng Fogha, N.W. Buru, 4500 feet).

Now Lichmera deningeri (Stresemann, 1912) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 400, and Higgins et al., 2008: 663.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694344 , adult male, collected on Mount Fogha , 4500 ft, Buru Island, Moluccas, Indonesia, on 25 February 1912, by Erwin Stresemann (no. 1104) on the II. Freiburger Molukken-Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Stresemann cited his unique field number of the holotype in the original description without saying how many specimens he studied. In his ( Stresemann, 1914b) account of his entire collection on Buru, he listed two male and five female specimens. There are five paratypes in AMNH: AMNH 694345, male, AMNH 694346–694349, fe- males, collected 26–28 February 1912 on Mount Fogha. The sixth paratype is in RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 27). Stresemann (1914b: 361) equated Mount Fogha, Mount Mada, and Mount Madang with Kapala Mada; This is probably Kapalatmada, 03.15S, 126.09E (USBGN, 1982a), although Rothschild and Hartert (1923: 118) thought that they were the same as Mount Tomahu, 03.14S, 126.04E (USBGN, 1982a).
