Type localities. Mimastra submetallica: Originally described from ‘Silago, Sidjoendjoeng, Si Bakoer, the District of Rawas and Koetoer’ ( JACOBY 1884).According to the present lectotype designation, the type locality is restricted to ‘Koetoer’ [Sumatra, Indonesia]. Mimastra platteeuwi : Sumatra [by the title]. Mimastra pectoralis : ‘ Laos, Sedone Prov., Paksong’.

Differential diagnosis. Mimastra submetallica is well characterized by its unusual coloration: dorsal side yellow, elytra usually with extreme apices black, antennae yellow, only the last 1–2 antennomeres sometimes infuscate, pro- and mesosternum and abdomen yellow, metasternum black, legs bicolorous, coxae and basal three fourths of femora yellow, tibiae, tarsi and apical fourth of femora black. Aedeagus as in Fig. 13 View Figs . Spermatheca as in Fig. 14 View Figs . Body length: males 6.25–7.15 mm (lectotype 6.95 mm); females 6.70–8.10 mm.

Distribution. Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia ( KIMOTO 1989); Laos ( KIMOTO 1989, present paper); Indonesia: Sumatra ( JACOBY 1884, DUVIVIER 1890, present paper), Batu Is. ( JACOBY 1897), Java, Bali, and Kalimantan (present paper); Malaysia: Pahang ( MOHAMEDSAID 1992, present paper), Perak ( MOHAMEDSAID 1992, 1995, present paper), Selangor, Pulau Pinang ( MOHAMEDSAID 1992), Sabah ( MOHAMEDSAID 1999a, 2000), Borneo (MOHAMEDSAID & HOL- LOWAY 1999), and Sarawak ( MOHAMEDSAID 1998a,b, 1999b).

Comments. The comparison of the primary types of M. submetallica , M. platteeuwi and M. pectoralis confirmed that all three taxa are conspecific. Mimastra platteeuwi was already synonymized with M. submetallica by MOHAMEDSAID (1992). Mimastra pectoralis is proposed here as a new synonym of M. submetallica .
