Ocinara bifurcula Dierl

Ocinara bifurcula Dierl, 1978: 238; Barlow, 1982: 45.

Diagnosis

See Ocinara albicollisWalker. Some specimens are reddish or even orange red.

Taxonomic Notes

The sister-species is the Sulawesi endemic, polia Tams, which has a similarly double-processed furculum but with the longer arms more slender and evenly curved, and with the apical angles of the eighth sternite much more strongly produced.

The Bornean specimen attributed to polia by Dierl is probably bifurcula.

Geographical range

Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.

Habitat preference

This is mainly a lowland species but has been recorded as high as 1500m.
