Archicolliuris bimaculata jaechi ( Kirschenhofer, 1994) : Kirschenhofer 1996

Distribution. Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia (Borneo; Java, Sulawesi), India (Uttarakhand), Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam.

Systematic notes: Kirschenhofer (1994) described Colliuris (Paracolliuris) jaechi from Mindoro; Donabauer (1996) considered this species identical to A. bimaculata . Almost at the same time Kirschenhofer (1996) considered it a subspecies of A. bimaculata . We agree with Donabauer’s position and prefer to consider it a simple synonym of the widely distributed A. bimaculata . Even the subgenus Paracolliuris Kirschenhofer, 1994 , described for this species and Colliuris (Paracolliuris) languidus Kirschenhofer, 1994 (= Archicolliuris distigma (Chaudoir, 1850)) , is invalid, being at the same time a synonym of Archicolliuris Liebke, 1931 ( Donabauer, 1996) and homonym of Paracolliuris Liebke, 1930.

We have not seen any specimen of this species in the Philippines.
