Anichtchenko, Alexander & Wiesner, Jürgen, 2024, Tiger beetles of the genus Tricondyla Latreille, 1822 (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) of the Philippines, with some considerations of the taxonomy of the genus, Zootaxa 5397 (3), pp. 351-376 : 375

Tricondyla (Stenotricondyla) beccarii Gestro, 1874

Loc. typ.: Borneo , Sarawak. Lectotype male in MCSN, paralectotypes: 1 male, 2 females in SDEI.

Comments. Habitus ( Figs 100–101 ), body size 15–18 mm. By presence of appendix and by overall shape of endophallus ( Figs 102–104 ), as well as by shape of aedeagus ( Fig. 129 ), this species belongs to the subgenus Stenotricondyla . New combination proposed here.

The listing of the species for the Philippines is due to the incorrect synonymy established by Naviaux of T. cyanipes fuscilabris Mandl, 1964 with T. beccarii beccarii that turned out to be synonymous with T. conicicollis Chaudoir, 1844 . Thereby T. beccarii should be removed from list of species of Philippines.

Distribution. Indonesia (Kalimantan), Sumatra: Aceh, S. utara, S. barat, Bengkulu), Malaysia ( Sarawak, Sabah), Brunei.
