Treatment

Maechidius lobaticeps Frey, 1969 View in CoL

Maechidius lobaticeps Frey, 1969: 494 View in CoL (key), 499 (original description).

Type material

BMNH (♂ holotype, 108 paratypes), SNSD (1♀ paratype), BPBM and NHMB (unspecified number of paratypes).

Distribution

According to Frey (1969: 499): most of New Guinea from Doberai Peninsula through Bird’s Neck Isthmus, North (Cyclops Mts) through Central Cordillera (Baliem Valley) towards the East (Finisterre Mts. & Papuan Peninsula), also Cenderawasih Bay Islands (Yapen). The occurrence of this species as specified by Frey (1969) is not impossible but needs further confirmation since I have not seen specimens from the Doberai Peninsula, Baliem Valley or Yapen.
