Abstract: 9. Diplatys insularis Borelli, 1932 Original combination Diplatys insularis Borelli, 1932: 87–88. Current combination Mesodiplatys insularis (Borelli, 1932) — Kamimura & Ferreira, 2018: 93. Type material Holotype (1 male; dried, on cardboard) MADAGASCAR • 1 ♂ (Fig. 30); “ Nossibé / O’Swaldu Co / 11.2.1907 / ♀ dans l’alcool // Type // Diplatys / insularis / nov. sp. / ♂ Borelli / typus // Holotype // ZMH 76576 ” Paratype (1 female; in ethanol) MADAGASCAR • 1 ♀ (Fig. 31); “ Diplatys / n. sp. ♀ / ♂ a secco // Diplatys / insularis / Borelli / ♀ nov. sp. // Nossibé / Wm O’Swald u Co / ded. 11.2.1907 // A. Borelli / determ. 1931 // ZMH 76683 ” Type locality Nosy Be [Madagascar]. Current status Valid species. Remarks In the original description, Borelli (1932) states that these type specimens were collected by O’Svvaldu. Comparing this name with the information from the specimen labels we can safely assume that the ZMH received these specimens through a trading company named “Wm. O’Swald & Co.” instead.
