MATERIAL EXAMINED. Cambodia: Cheko , 6.II 1965, leg. K. Yoshikawa (digital pictures of the holotype of Tricondyla cyanipes kambodshensis Mandl, 1970 , ♀ ― ELKU) .
NOTES. Tricondyla cyanipes kambodshensis was described from a single female
(Mandl, 1970: 57). Naviaux (2002) considered it as a synonym of Tricondyla stricticeps
Chaudoir, 1864 ( Figs 3, 5 View Figs 1–5 ). However, he had not revised the type and his opinion was based only on the original description by Mandl (Naviaux, 2002: 37). Having studied some digital pictures of the holotype of T. cyanipes kambodshensis ( Figs 1, 2, 4 View Figs 1–5 ), kindly sent to me by Dr.
Toshiharu Mita, the opinion of Naviaux is confirmed. Yet all checklists of Cambodian tiger beetles refer to T. stricticeps as a species which comes from neither an exact locality nor even a definite province (Cassola, 2005; Wiesner, 2008, 2014). Meanwhile the village (phum in Cambodian) Cheko is situated in the Botum Sakor District of the Koh Kong Province.
