The senior author has examined syntypes of P. bifer (MNHN), and we have compared photographs of these with specimens collected in Thailand and Vietnam, and with the holotype, the only known specimen, of O. kamoli (KUM) collected in Thailand. The holotype of O. kamoli has lost the antennal club and the last two segments of the funicle on both sides, but there is no doubt that it is a specimen of P. bifer, which is a common species in Southeast Asia. Accordingly, we here synonymise O. kamoli with P. bifer .
