Cypa duponti Roepke

C. duponti was recorded formally for Borneo by Beck & Kitching (2006), though material had already been confused with terranea in Part 3 as indicated in the previous Note. The species was illustrated by Diehl (1980 [1982]: Plate V, 36), but misidentified as C. pallens brooksi. The dissected specimen of duponti referred to in the previous note is that listed for terranea in Part 3 from lower montane forest at 900m on G. Api. A further duponti male has been taken at Telupid in the lowlands of Sabah (in FRC, Sepilok), and there is another that was taken at 1618m on Bukit Retak in Brunei. The specimen attributed to terranea by Harman (1981) from Seria in the lowlands of Brunei has not been re-examined, but could also be duponti. There is also material of duponti from the Crocker Range (1300m) and G. Trus Madi (1200m) in the collections of J. Haxaire and R. Brechlin (I.J. Kitching, pers. comm.). Kitching & Cadiou (2000) indicated that typical Javan duponti differed slightly from material from the rest of Sundaland.
