• Scrutiny:
  • Brock, 2022, Left as a synonym of Lonchodes brevipes pending clarification. The key features to support perceived differences are not supported by the figures and ideally molecular work is needed, as this may only be a subspecies - if that. NSee Seow-Choen 2021 for his further remarks - molecular work should be straightforward to arrange
• Type specimen information:
  • There are multiple primary types, see specimen data for details.
