Maechidius luniceps Fairmaire, 1883: 8 View in CoL (original description).

Type material

ZMUH (syntype). Gebien (1907: 206) states that the “ Type ♂ ” is in the ZMUH collection. However, Weidner (1976, 1979) does not list this species among the types stored in ZMUH. It remains unclear whether M. luniceps was omitted by Weidner or the type was lost in WWII.

Distribution

New Britain of Bismarck Archipelago.
