| this spm is very interesting belongs to T. schaumi-complex, the typical ssp. is described from Key islands, and further spp's are described from Bismarck archipel and Somolon islands - if the location (Eastern Sepik Province) right, it should be the first record from the Papua mainland, its maybe a new ssp. |

Thank you so much Andreas for these identifications. I appreciate .
It was about time for me to find the names after those years.
As for T. pseudosuperans, I see all four specimens are the same species ... Even the specimen at far right with the pronotum not so large or square ?
By the way, for my information....In this tribe, or genus Tmesisternus, do males and females have mostly a similar pronotum ? Or different pronotum, as we see sometimes
for example on some Prioninae ?

| About T. schaumi-complex, I pretend the data is OK... Hopefully. |

yes Gontran, in some groups of Tmesisternus (almost the first ones in Gressitt's revision) have a quite different pronotum in male and female, and also most of the Sulawesian species, sometimes male and female are describe in different species that's why.
Do you have more material from the sps above ? |
