Dilar macleodi Oswald & Schiff

( Fig. 5 )

Dilar macleodi Oswald & Schiff, 2001: 74 . Type locality: Malaysia ( Sarawak: Gunung Buda).

Diagnosis. This is a very small species of Dilar , with male forewing length ca. 6 mm. It is a pale species, but with some dark thoracic markings. The forewing markings are also reduced, not arranged as transverse bands as that in many other Dilar species.

Materials examined. Paratypes 2♂, MALAYSIA: Sarawak, Gunung [= Mt.] Buda, ca. 64 km S Limbang, 4°13′N, 114°56′E, Malaise, 5–25.IX.1996, N. Schiff ( NHMW).

Distribution. Malaysia ( Sarawak).

Remarks. This species was well described by Oswald & Schiff (2001) so a re-description is apparently unnecessary in this paper. It appears to be closely related to D. sumatranus Zhang, Liu, Aspöck & Aspöck , sp. nov. (see Remarks under the latter species).
