Tinginotum javanum Kirkaldy 1902

Tinginotum javanum Kirkaldy, 1902 Fig. 8 D – F Tinginotum javanum Kirkaldy, 1902: 263; Poppius 1911: 22; Carvalho 1952: 93; 1959: 268. Material examined. • 1 ♂, Indonesia, Borneo, South Kalimatan, Loksados (7 km NE), 22. ix. 1997, Jakl S. leg. (FC n ° 11556) [ISNB]. Further details on the specimen are available on the online portal of the holding institution (FMNH) at https://kotka.luomus.fi/view?uri=luomus:GL.10496. Distribution. Indonesia (Borneo, Java), Sri Lanka (Carvalho 1959). Remarks. This species is the type species of the genus Tinginotum. In the original description, it was described together with the generic description of Tinginotum, and therefore its species-level description is relatively simple. Although only a few morphological characters can be examined from images of the type specimen, the coloration pattern of the antennae, the relative proportions of the antennal segments (second segment twice as long as the third, which is slightly longer than the first, with the three apical segments slender), and the mostly pale brown clypeus may be considered diagnostic for this species. This species resembles T. formosanum; however, T. formosanum possesses distinct clusters of dark setae on the pronotum, whereas such a feature is neither mentioned in the original description of this species nor observable in the type specimen. According to Poppius (1915), it can be distinguished by the proportions of the antennal segments and by the relatively weak punctation on the scutellum, but because the type specimen of T. javanum is in poor condition, reliable comparison is difficult, and additional material will be needed to confirm these characters.
