Tigrioides inversa Gaede, 1925
[Tigrioides costaepunctata f. inversa Gaede, 1925] [holotype: Etappenberg, Papua New Guinea, in ZMHB]
Distribution
STATUS: Gaede described this taxon as a form of costaepunctata but it is probably justified to consider it to be a good species. Specimens of Walmak very much look alike inversa although this should be verified with genitalia research.
PAPUA LOCALITIES: New Guinea: Walmak. Details in gazetteer.
EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea.
