Tribe Lebiini

A very large tribe with about a dozen subtribes. However, the subtribal systematics is controversial, therefore in the present paper subtribes are neglected. Many genera in the Oriental and Australian fauna have not yet been revised, therefore identifications are difficult or impossible. However, the Oriental to Australian genus Anomotarus was recently revised by Baehr (2003c) for the region including Timor, with two Timorese species described. These were collected in the present survey, together with another species described in that work from the Indonesian islands.

Anomotarus apicalis Baehr, 2003c .— 6 ex. “gorge 1k NE Laclubar 8°44'47"S 125°54'54"E siamweed above gorge, at mv light 1030m C.Reid TL2012/107/598” K402505–509 ( AMS), K402504 ( CBM). This species is apparently endemic to Timor .

Anomotarus latiplaga Baehr, 2003c .— 1 ex. “Hatubuilco Rd 11.5km W t’off h’way 8°53'12"S 125°32'49"E E urophylla /Vacc pasture/gully 2050m 28.v.2012 C.Reid TL2012/080/762” K402502 ( AMS). Anomotarus latiplaga was described from Java, Bali and Adonara ( Baehr, 2003c). This is the first record from Timor .

Anomotarus timorensis Baehr, 2003c .— 1 ex. “Ramelau sum’t plat. 8°54'51"S 125°39'31"E 28/05/2012 stunted eucs/vaccinium/moss/grass 2750m C. Reid grass tufting TL2012/090/575” K402503 ( AMS). Another species apparently endemic to Timor .
