Distribution: Philippines: Luzon (Manila); Leyte *, Mindanao (Siargao, Agusan del Norte, Lanao del Sur *); Indonesia? (Maluku: Buru, Ambon, Ceram, Halmahera)

Type deposition: HOLOTYPE (♂)—The Natural History Museum, London; SYNTYPE- The National Museum of Natural History, Paris

Scientific synonyms:? Cereopsius luctuosus Pascoe 1866 ;? Cereopsius tricinctus Pascoe 1866 ; Cereopsius praetorius nigrobasalis Kriesche 1928 ; Cereopsius questor var. connecta Fisher 1934 .

Unavailable names: Cereopsius quaestor m. confluens Breuning 1944; Cereopsius quaestor m. reductemaculatus Breuning 1980.

Note. The Moluccan C. luctuosus and C. tricinctus show white pubescence, while the female syntype of C. luctuosus does not show ringed antennomere 5. Both characters make these taxa more closely related to C. mimospilotus ; thus, a closer examination of the Moluccan populations is necessary to revaluate the taxonomy of these species.
