Description

Monolepta apicalis (Mohamedsaid, 2001) comb. nov.

Liroetiella apicalis Mohamedsaid, 2001: 252 (original description); MOHAMEDSAID (2004): 96 (catalogue).

Type locality. ‘ Malaysia, Sabah, Lembah Danum’.

Type material. Not examined.

Distribution. Malaysia: Sabah (MOHAMEDSAID 2001).

Comments. After the tentative transfer of this species to Monolepta it is now a homonym of Monolepta apicalis (Sahlberg, 1823). However, I avoid to suggest a new name till its definitive placement in Monolepta is confirmed.
