Cyphopisthes wallacei (Pascoe, 1860)

Known distribution: Indonesia, West Malaysia (Perak) (Paulian 1978).

Remarks. The West Malaysian record is doubtful, as stated by Paulian himself (1978). The occurrence of C. wallacei outside Borneo has to be confirmed. The synonymy between Cyphopisthes wallacei and Cyphopisthes humeralis Gestro, 1899 (described from Borneo) established by Paulian (1978) doesn’t seem acceptable. The majority of published records for C. wallacei outside Borneo seems to be wrong. The genus Cyphopisthes Gestro, 1899 is in need of a revision.
