( Figure 3J )

Sesieutes nitens Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001: 451 , figures 744–748, description of male and female

Type material

Holotype. ♂, Indonesia, Sumatra, Anai Mt Sigalang , 400 m, secondary forest, sifting leaf litter, 9–21 November 1994, leg. S. Djojosudharmo ( RMNH, examined) .

New material

Two ♂, Indonesia, Sumatra, West Sumatra Province, old secondary forest above Taman Hutan Raya Bung Hatta, near road Padang to Lubuksulasih (0◦56′45′′ S, 100◦32′37′′ E), 1100 m, 29–30 May 2006, leg. P. Schwendinger ( MHNG, Sum–06 / 01) .

Remarks

Males of S. nitens can be distinguished from their congeners by the triangular lobe on proximal RTA ( Figure 3J ), and by the modification on the ventral side of the male palpal femur. The newly collected specimens differ from that of the holotype by being slightly larger, their dorsal scutum is more or less dull instead of being smooth and shiny. No significant difference was detected in their palpal morphology.

Distribution

Indonesia (Sumatra, Java).
