Distribution. Sumatra, Mentawai Islands (Sipora), Java, Borneo, Palawan ( Hebard 1920, Giglio-Tos 1927, Ehrmann 2002).

Bornean records. Sarawak: Kuching (SMSM), Mt. Matang (SMSM), Klingkang (SMSM), Mt. Santubong (SMSM); Sabah: Sandakan ( Hebard 1920), Labuan Island ( Hebard 1920), Sorinsim (AFUW); Kalimantan: Long Petak ( Werner 1933).

Odontomantis (Euantissa) micantula Beier, 1956 View in CoL

Distribution. Sunda Islands, Mentawai Islands ( Beier 1956).

Bornean records. Sarawak: Marudi (SMNK), Mt. Dulit ( Beier 1937), Mt. Tibang ( Werner 1930); Sabah: Crocker Range (AFUW), Mesilau (AFUW).

Remarks. According to Beier (1956), this species was confused by previous authors with the Ceylonese O. micans (Saussure, 1871) ; he proposed the name O. micantula for the Sunda species but without type designation. Taxonomic rearrangement not considered by Ehrmann (2002) and Otte & Spearman (2005).
