Falconius bedoti
(
Bolívar, 1909
)
Eugavialidium bedoti
:
Bolívar, 1909
.
Type
material
(deposited in
MNGN
Geneva
) was not examined, but the original description (
Bolívar 1909
) and drawings by
Günther
(1938).
Type
locality
:
Indonesia
: W
Java
:
Bandung Regency
: Pangalengan.
Notes
. The species was originally described on one male specimen from
Java
(deposited in
MNGN
Geneva
), as assigned to the genus
Eugavialidium
, which is today synonym of
Scelimena
.
Günther (1935)
moved the species to the genus
Falconius
and realized (
Günther 1938a
) that he already reported it once, but under the name
F. clavitarsis
(
Günther 1937
)
. Günther (1938) examined
8 specimens
from W
Java
(Jasinga, Tjisaroea, Bogor), N
Sumatra
(
Deli
Serdang, Sirambe) and Peninsular Malaya (
Penang
), and noted that specimens from
Java
are the largest, while those from
Penang
and Sirambe the smallest. From Günther's (1938) drawings, it seems that species belongs to
Falconius
—female has swollen distal segments of the hind tarsi. However, closer examination of the head in frontal
view
is needed.
