Isoneuromyia polybioides (Edwards) View in CoL

Platyura (Isoneuromyia) polybioides Edwards, 1933: 226 View in CoL .

This species was originally described from a single male and female from Lumu Lumu [a locality at 5500 ft. on Mt. Kinabalu in Sabah in Borneo]. An additional male from Sabah has been examined in this study and shows only a slight difference in the amount of infuscation at the tip of the wing (fainter than in the types). The species was originally described as being unique in possessing orange tibial spurs. Specimens examined in this study show a complex of four species possessing orange to yellow spurs and restricted in range to Sulawesi and Borneo (the other three species being pallidopsis View in CoL , n. sp., matilei View in CoL , n. sp., and tannia View in CoL , n. sp.).
