decipiens Verhoeff, 1905

Theuropoda decipiens Verhoeff, 1905a

Type material.

Holotype, ♂, ZMB 2015 / 2015 a–f (Verhoeff slide nrs 2030-3035); "Pongoor, Vorderindien" [Pangkor Island, Malaysia?]; collector and date not recorded.

Present name.

Junior synonym of Thereuopoda longicornis (Fabricius, 1793); synonymized by Würmli (1979).

Remarks.

There is historical to reference to a "Pongoor bei Malakka" which implies a type locality in the Malacca State of Malaysia. It may well be an older name for Pangkor Island, whereby Fedor Jagor (1816-1900) is known to have collected material in “Pongoor” for the Berlin museum in 1873-1876 and again from 1890-1893.
