Broghammerus reticulatus stuartbigmorei Hoser, 2004 View in CoL [nomen dubium, synonym of Broghammerus reticulatus reticulatus]

Holotype:

MCZ R-8003.

Type locality:

Buitenzore (believed a misspelling of Buitenzorg, the Dutch colonial name for Bogor), Java, Indonesia.

Remarks:

Hoser (2004) provided characters to separate this taxon, but he attempts to distinguish this subspecies from the species " Broghammerus reticulatus ", which includes the subspecies itself. This taxon is indistinguishable from other subspecies based on the original description and is therefore treated as nomen dubium (APP5), and placed in the synonymy of the nominate form.However, specimens from Bali, West Malaysia, Jaya, West Kalimantan, and Vietnam form a clade as demonstrated by Auliya et al. (2002).
