Type
locality: BMNH 1946.8.22.90 (formerly BMNH 1925.9.1.8; holotype), from “Mt.
Gadin” (= Gunung Gading, 01º 44’N; 109º 50’E, Sarawak, East Malaysia;
Borneo). Other material that Smith (1925b) looked at but did not formally
designate as types include MCZ 39024 and ZRC 2.1114-115.
Distribution:
North-western Borneo and Natuna Island. Endemic to Borneo.
Localities
in Borneo: SARAWAK: Gunung Gading (Smith, 1925b, based on BMNH 1946.8.22.90;
BMNH 1974.3790; MCZ 39024); Lundu (MCZ 15250); Mt. Poi (BMNH 1925.9.1.9-10).
Derivation:
Latin for blackish.
Remarks:
Since Smith (1925b) designated a ‘type’ of his new species, although his
description of the species was based on several specimens (including MCZ 39024
and ZRC 2.1114-115), these do not have the status of types (see Das and Lim,
2001). The Pulau Tioman population referred to this species by Dring (1979) is
under study.
