Witteia borneensis (Pace, 1986) comb. n.

Wroughtonilla borneensis Pace 1986: 204.

Type locality.

Pangi, Sabah, Malaysia.

Diagnosis.

This species is closely similar in general appearance to Witteia dentilabrum sp. n. from Selangor, Malaysia, but is distinguished from it by the smaller body (3.0 mm) and the larger apical part of the spermatheca.

Distribution.

Sabah, Borneo; Burma.

Comments.

This species was described based on a single specimen from Sabah, Borneo. In the original description Pace (1986) illustrated the habitus and spermatheca. The habitus illustration shows the labrum with a pair of projections that is an autapomorphy of Witteia . This species is probably associated with Leptogenys distinguenda .
