6E4F87A8FF997860A4B9F88A3BACBC35.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Comparison of type specimens of H. celebensis (Fig. 3) with the type of H. javanus (Fig. 2) and numerous representatives of H. trichemerus (holotype: Fig. 1) shows these three taxa conspecific. Characters used by Kolbe (1892) to discriminate H. celebensis from H. javanus (length of antennomeres) are not consistant when numerous specimens are examined. So I conclude that Hoplopisthius celebensis Kolbe, 1892 = H. trichemerus Senna, 1892, n. syn., H. javanus having already been placed in synonym with H. trichemerus by Senna (1893 b).

6E4F87A8FF92786FA4B9FF4F3F59BA35.taxon	discussion	Remarks. H. oberthueri has precedence over C. felschei as reprints of original work of Senna were found in MZUF with the date of September 1892, just as Kolbe's work (Luca Bartolozzi, pers. comm.), but complete volume of Bollettino della Società entomologica italiana was published only on January 28 th 1893. As it is impossible to know whether Kolbe or Senna's work has priority because the difference is only about few days, as Senna (1894) says his work was published before Kolbe's, and in order of not changing nomenclature, precedence is given to H. oberthueri. Sforzi & Bartolozzi (2004) were not able to locate the lectotype of H. oberthueri (designated by Damoiseau, 1987) in the collection of the MNHN. After careful examination of all the specimens in the collection, I finally found it (Fig. 5) with two paralectotypes. Damoiseau (1987) says lectotype is a male but it is a female. This species is also cited from Philippines (Sforzi & Bartolozzi, 2004).
