Cautires congener Waterhouse, 1879

Cautires congener Waterhouse, 1879: 36 .

Type material

Holotype

INDONESIA: ♁, Java ( BMNH); no further data available.

Remark

Kleine (1926) reported C. congener from several localities in the Malay Peninsula and illustrated the apical part of the phallus of a specimen. We studied the holotype of C. congener , deposited in the BMNH collection, and found that Kleine’s identification was incorrect. The holotype has the apical part of the phallus much wider and the species is yellowish orange coloured unlike all Malay Cautires species. Kleine (1926) reported several specimens from various localities from the lowlands to the lower mountain elevations in the Cameron Highlands. These specimens were not available for our study, but they probably do not represent C. congener , which is known only from Java.
