Ptomaphaginus murphyi Szymczakowski, 1970

Ptomaphaginus murphyi Szymczakowski, 1970: 289 -292, figs 21-30 .— Holotype ♂ (in IZSEC) and paratype ♀ (in ZRC) from Ulu Gombak , Selangor, Malaysia ([not examined]).

Material.— Malaysia: The Gap (Selangor), 26-28.x.1977, leg. B. Bendell, 1 ♂ ( SBPC) ; Gombak (Selangor), 8.iv.1963, killed in pan of alcohol under light, #113 , leg. G.C. Sanderson, 1 ♂ ( SBPC) .

This species was described by Szymczakowski (1970) on the basis of a ♂ and a ♀ from Ulu Gombak (Peninsular Malaysia, state of Selangor). We report new material from the type locality (Ulu Gombak) and from a nearby locality (The Gap). The habitus and aedeagus closely match the original description.
