Leptaulax ribbei Kuwert, 1891: 188 View in CoL .

One syntype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. Nickerl).

SYNTYPE (unsexed specimen): ‘ Leptaulax / Ribbei Kuw. / Ins. Aru [hw Kuwert] // L. Ribbei / Kuwert typ [hw Nickerl] // Nickerl [p] // TYPUS [p, red label, black margin] // ribbei Kuw. / syntype / revised [hw] / S. Boucher det. [p] 13 [hw]’.

Current status. Valid species.

Remark. The locality and total length of the syntype (20 mm) do not correspond with the data in the original description: ‘Süd-Celebes’ and 16 mm. However, KUWERT (1898b) corrected length of this species to 20–21 mm. Because the specimen from NMPC is conspecific with syntypes from Kuwert’s collection, fits with primary description, and bears identification label written by Kuwert himself, we consider it a member of the original type series. Its locality label seems to be erroneous.
