That work included descriptions of seven new species from Borneo and the transfer of two previously described species,  Pratinus fasciatus Attems, 1898 from Borneo and  Pratinus socialis Carl, 1912 from Sulawesi, due to uncertainties regarding the taxonomic status of  Pratinus Attems, 1937 (Jeekel 1963). Subsequently, Golovatch (1996) re-examined the type material of  G. immanis, refining the variation range of the ambiguities in some morphological characters. His study provided the detailed redescription and illustrations of  G. immanis and included the description of a new species from Bali (Golovatch 1996).</p><p>Key to the presently known species of  Gigantomorpha Jeekel, 1963 (modified after Golovatch 1996)</p><p>1.

Holotype 37.4 mm long, and 2.7 and 4.1 mm wide on midbody pro- and metaterga, respectively.</p><p>Colouration of alcohol material after one year of preservation dark brown or castaneous brown with a pattern of contrasting yellowish brown paraterga and epiproct (Fig. 5A–G); antennae brown to light brown (Fig. 5B); venter and legs light brown to light yellowish (Fig. 5B, E–I).</p><p>Clypeolabral region and vertex sparsely setose, epicranial suture distinct.Antennae rather short (Fig. 5B), reaching body ring 3 (♂, ♀) when stretched dorsally. In length, antennomere 3 =2&gt; 5&gt;4 =6&gt;&gt; 1=7. Interantennal isthmus ca 0.6 times diameter of antennal socket (Fig. 8B). In width, head &lt;collum &lt;ring 3&lt;2&lt;4&lt;5&lt;6&lt;7–16 (Fig. 5A), thereafter body gently and gradually tapering. Collum with three transverse rows of strong setae: 3+3 anterior, 2+2 intermediate, and 4+4 posterior; caudal corner very broadly rounded, paraterga declined ventrad, not produced past rear tergal margin (Fig. 5A–B).</p><p>Tegument rather smooth and shining, prozona delicately shagreened, metaterga smooth and leathery, posterior halves faintly rugulose, surface below paraterga microgranulate (Fig. 5A–F).</p><p>Postcollum metaterga each with two transverse rows of setae: an anterior transverse row with 2+2, often abraded setae traceable at least as insertion points, and a posterior row with 4(5)+4(5) setae borne on low, oblong, rounded tubercles or minute knobs with insertion points of mostly abraded setae. Tergal setae rather short, strong, slender, about 1/4 metatergal length. Axial line traceable both on pro- and metazona. Paraterga very strongly developed (Fig. 5A–G), especially well so in males, subhorizontal to mostly slightly upturned, lying above dorsum or slightly above dorsum, thin in lateral view, like blunt blades, a little thicker only on pore-bearing rings, on postcollum rings extending increasingly beyond dorsum, especially so in rings 17–19; anterior edge broadly rounded and narrowly bordered, fused to callus; caudal corner almost completely to fully pointed, always extending past rear tergal margin, bent posteriad on rings 17–19; posterior edge oblique (Fig. 5A, C, F). Calluses on poreless paraterga delimited by a sulcus only dorsally, but on pore-bearing rings paraterga both dorsally and ventrally. Paraterga 2 broad, lateral edge with three small acute denticles, one at midway, the other two each at posterior 1/3 (Fig. 5A). Paraterga 3 and 4 each with two similar evident incisions, one at midway, the other in posterior 1/3 (Fig. 5A). Following poreless rings with two evident incisions, one at midway, the other in posterior 1/3, caudal incision in pore-bearing rings smaller or gradually reduced in posterior rings (Fig. 5D, F). Ozopores evident, lateral, each lying in an ovoid groove at about 1/3 metatergal length in front of posterior edge of metaterga (Fig. 5C–E).</p><p>Transverse sulcus usually distinct (Fig. 5A, C, F), complete and visible on metaterga 5–18, rather deep and narrow, reaching the bases of paraterga, linear, ribbed at bottom. Stricture between pro- and metazona rather wide, deep, ribbed at bottom down to base of paraterga (Fig. 5A, C, F). Pleurosternal carinae complete crests only on rings 2 and 3 (Fig. 8B), each with an evident sharp denticle caudally, thereafter increasingly reduced until ring 8 (♂) or 7 (♀).</p><p>Epiproct (Fig. 5E–G) conical, flattened dorsoventrally, subtruncate, with two evident apical papillae directed caudally, both pointed at tip; pre-apical papillae evident, lying close to tip. Hypoproct subtrapeziform (Fig. 5G), small setigerous knobs at caudal edge well-separated and evident.</p><p>Sterna separsely setose, without modifications; cross-impressions shallow; two large and long, fully separated, sparsely setose, sternal cones between male coxae 4 (Fig. 5H–I). A paramedian pair of small tubercles in front of gonopod aperture. Legs long and slender, midbody ones ca 1.3–1.5 (♂) or 1.1–1.3 (♀) times as long as body height; prefemora without modifications; tarsal brushes present until legs of ring 17.</p><p>Gonopods (Figs 6–7) simple; coxa long and thick, subcylindrical, a little curved caudad, sparsely setose distoventrally (Figs 6A–B, 7A–B). Prefemoral part short, densely setose as usual, about 1/4 as long as femoral part + postfemoral part (Fig. 7A–B). Femoral part long and slender, slightly expanded distad, curved, postfemoral part demarcated by an oblique lateral sulcus (Figs 6A–B, D, F, 7A–B); seminal groove running entirely mesally along fermorite, solenomere (sl) flagelliform, fully sheathed by solenophore (sph). Both lamina lateralis (ll) and lamina medialis (lm) well developed, subequal in length, long and slender (Figs 6A, C, E, 7B). Lamina medialis (lm) with tip clearly bifid (Fig. 7A).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>This species was collected on rocks and vegetation, under rotten branches or logs, in lower montane forest habitats in the Mesilau and Mount Tambuyokon areas in the eastern part of the Kinabalu Park complex (Fig. 1C).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E54C5B1E03FFD6FE13F97DAC9B41D9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Legs long and slender, midbody legs ca 1.2–1.4 (♂) or 1.1–1.3 (♀) times as long as body height, prefemora without modifications, tarsal brushes present until legs 7.</p><p>Gonopods (Figs 12–13) rather complex; coxa long and thick, subcylindrical, a little curved caudad, sparsely setose distoventrally (Figs 12A–B, 14). Prefemoral part very short, densely setose about 1/5 as long as femoral part + postfemoral part (Figs 12A–B, 14A–C). Femoral part long and slender, slightly curved distad, postfemoral– part demarcated by a very faint and oblique lateral sulcus (Figs 12B, E–F, 13C); seminal groove running entirely mesally along the femoral part, solenomere (sl) flagelliform, fully sheathed by solenophore (sph). Solenophore hypertrophied composed of both well-developed lamina lateralis and lamina medialis. Lamina medialis (lm) well developed, thick and large, unciform, expanded apically, terminal tip clearly bifid, subterminal lobe smaller than terminal one, triangular in shape and pointed at tip; with a strong, sharp and denticulate process (d) at caudal edge (Figs 12–13). Lamina lateralis (ll) thick and large, expanded apically, set lower than lamina medialis, both laminae supporting and sheathing most of solenomere (Figs 12, 13A, C–D).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>This species was found at the Gunung Alab Substation (Fig. 1C), which primarily consists of mossy, montane forest habitats and experiences limited periods of sunlight and extensive fog cover throughout the day (Majuakim &amp; Anthony 2016). One individual was found inside a small building which houses the office and guesthouse, adjacent to forest trails, and together with  Gigantomorpha alabensis sp. nov., while the others were revealed under rotten logs along forest trails or by the roadside. The species was also found in the eastern part of the Kinabalu Park complex, at Mesilau (Fig. 1C).  Orangutana setosa, was reported from lowland areas in Sepilok, Sandakan, in eastern Sabah, approximately 180 km away from the type locality of the new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E54C5B1E18FFCDFE36FB01AFA641BE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
