COMMENTS: Gerd Heinrich’s (1896–1984) collection had been split between the Rothschild collection (now in AMNH), the AMNH and the ZMB. The holotype is AMNH 299071 (male, loc. Rurukan, 900 m, 17 February 1931, Heinrich no. 3753, cf. Dickinson et al. 2004b: 122). The ZMB holds five additional Celebes specimens of Heinrich’s from other than the type locality Rurukan. See Dickinson et al. (2004a: 93–95) for a detailed discussion on this species-group.
