Zyras (Zyras) daiaccorum PACE, 2008: 152 f.; syn. nov.

Type material examined: Holotype : “BORNEO Sabah Mt. Kinabalu Nat. Pk., HQ Liwago River , 1490 m 10.VIII.88, A. Smetana [B97] / Holotypus Zyras daiaccorum mihi, det. R. Pace 2000 / Zyras daiaccorum n. sp., det. R. Pace 2000 / MHNG ENTO 00010004 / Zyras matangensis Cameron , det. V. Assing 2017 ” ( MHNG) . Paratype : same data as holotype, but “ 3.IX.1988 ... [B174]” ( MHNG) .

Additional material examined: Malaysia: 1  [identified as Z. adulescens by Pace], Sabah, Crocker Range , 1600 m, 18.V.1987, leg. Burckhardt & Löbl ( MHNG) .

Comment: The original description of Z. daiaccorum is based on a female holotype from “Borneo, Sabah, Mt. Kanabalu Nat. Pd., HQ Liwagu River” and three females from the same locality ( PACE 2008). An examination of the holotype and a paratype revealed that these specimens are conspecific with the holotype of Z. matangensis , which was revised by ASSING (2017). The external and sexual characters of the holotype of Z. matangensis are illustrated in Figs 5, 26, 41, 63–65.
