Francesco, I think I have got at least 15 specimens of this insect. I can't give you the real number because I'm not at home this week.
I will be back home in two days (sunday) and then I could confirm the number and the sex. I can help you for the description of the male if you want. |

Thank you.
I have seen that we have several males having the same size. Maybe it is batter to make only syntypes. |

Before the study of the type spms of E. pustulifera I don't believe its a good idea to describe a new species immediately, because the type picture is really in a bad quality, and why such a common species is'nt known not yet.
I have a pair in my coll.: INDONESIA S-Sulawesi / Island, Bulukumba NW / env., Mt. Lompobatang, / ~ 900m, 10-30.VII.2006 / local collectors

I had a look with a microscope. The colour is produced by scales of some wax-like secretion which looks partly crystalline. White spots are formed by the same substance of lighter colour.
Collection data: Sulawesi, Mamasa, 02.2009. |

The description of the new species of Eczemothea is a good point.
Please let me know if I have to some specimens, eventual mistakes or corrections.

Dear Francesco some remarks to the new Eczemothea sp.:
- description text seems to be ok
- what are syntypes ? in a paper today 
- type depositories ?? where are the "coll.'s" located
- why you mention Hathliolophia alboplagiata this has nothing to do with this description
- to designate type spms only after pictures or even data are not a serious scientific work also behind the background in Sulawesi we have a huge diversity of species many of them very related, I'm not sure all the available spms belong to the same E. caenosus |
