Haplocladon gorhami Kundrata nom. nov.

Diplocladon hasseltii Gorham, 1883b: 250 (described in subgenus Diplocladon Haplocladon ). Preoccupied by Diplocladon hasseltii Gorham, 1883a: 6.

Haplocladon haselti : Gorham 1903: 330 [unavailable name, incorrect subsequent spelling not in prevailing usage].

Described based on an unknown number of specimens. Two syntypes, males (one from Sumatra, one from Java) (RMNH).

Type locality.

Indonesia: Sumatra, Lampung, Soekadana; Java, Batavia.

Literature.

Gorham (1883b: 250): original description; Gorham (1903: 330): remark [as H. haselti [sic!]]; Olivier (1910: 8): catalogue [as D. hasselti ]; Wittmer (1944: 211): catalogue [as D. hasselti ].

Remarks.

Gorham (1883b: 250) also reported an unnamed variety of H. hasseltii as "var. totum testaceum" (i.e., colour description but not the official name of the variety) from Ardjoeno and Batavia in Java. At least one specimen from Batavia labelled as “var.” is present in MNHN. Two specimens from Ardjoeno and one specimen from Batavia deposited in RMNH bear the label “Type”; however, based on Article 72.4.1. of the Code ( ICZN 1999), they should not be considered a part of the type series for Haplocladon gorhami .
