Kema bloetei Usinger et Matsuda, 1959

( Fig. 28 )

Remarks – The species was described on a single male specimen ( USINGER

& MATSUDA 1959). As locality “Forsten” was given, with “a handwritten nota-

duced from KORMILEV, 1953); 30 = K. lobulata, female from Sulawesi tion which is illegible”, and was considered of unknown origin (patria ignota). Oscar Vorst ( RMNH) was kind enough to clear this with great probability. The specimen is now registered in their database, registration number RMNH. INS.1274565. ”Forsten” refers to the collector E. A. Forsten. Considering his collecting journey and that the label probably reads: “Bel. Amour.” which is short for Belang Amoerang, the specimen was probably collected in 1840 in NE Celebes (now Sulawesi, Indonesia). Though the habitus drawing accompanying the original description is excellent, a photo (taken by Bibiche Berkholst) is provided here ( Fig. 28 ) to facilitate the identification of this species .
