description: <i>Hoplasoma apicale</i> Jacoby, 1884 (Figs. 2, 8, 14) <i>Hoplasoma apicalis</i> Jacoby, 1884: 233 (original description); Weise, 1924: 18 (catalogue); Wilcox, 1973: 479 (catalogue); Kimoto 1990: 54 (catalogue); Medvedev 2000: 123 (key). <i>Haplosoma</i> [sic!] <i>apicalis</i>: Allard, 1888: 327 (key). <b>Type locality.</b> Described from “ Aru Islands and Gorontalo: N. Celebes ” (Jacoby 1884). Due to the designation of lectotype, the type locality is restricted to „ Gorontalo: N. Celebes “ [Gorontalo prov., Gorontalo, 0°32´N 123°3´E]. <b>Type material.</b> Lectotype &amp;male; (RMNH), designated here, labelled: „ Rosenberg / Gorontalo [w, p]“. Paralectotypes: 3 &amp;female;&amp;female; (RMNH), same label as lectotype; 1 &amp;female; (RMNH), labelled: „ Hoplasoma / apicalis / Jac. [blue label, h] // Rosenberg / Ins. Aru [round label, w, h]“. The colour photos of 1 paralectotype (&amp;female;) and its labels deposited in MCZ are available online at: http://mcz-28168.oeb.harvard.edu/mcztypedb.htm. This paralectotype bears the following labels: „v. Rosenberg / ins. Aru [round label, w, h] // [blank pale blue label] // 1st Jacoby / Coll. [w, p] // Type [p] 17587 [red label, h]“. The type specimens (except this from MCZ) are provided with one additional red label: „ LECTOTYPUS [or PARALECTOTYPUS, resp.], / <i>Hoplasoma apicalis</i> / Jacoby, 1884, / des. J. Bezdĕk 2008“. <b>Additional material studied.</b> 34 specimens — <b>INDONESIA: SULAWESI ARCHIPELAGO:</b> SULAWESI TENGAH PROV.: 2 &amp;male;&amp;male;, Toli–Toli [1°2´N 120°48´E], xi–xii.1895, H. Fruhstorfer leg. (SMTD); SULAWESI UTARA PROV.: 1 &amp;female;, Soputan Mt., Kelelond [1°11´N 124°73´E], 14.–19.vi.1954, A.H.G. Alston leg.

Guinea?“ (ISNB). <b>Distribution.</b> So far known from the north part of Sulawesi Archipelago (Gorontalo, Sulawesi Tengah and Sulawesi Utara provincies), Maluku (Bacan Isl.) and Aru Archipelago. The occurence in Aru Archipelago is somewhat questionable because this archipelago is placed far away from Sulawesi and the occurence there should be confirmed by additional material. <b>Comments.</b> Described from unknown number of specimens. Major part of the type series is deposited in RMNH (5 specimens, including lectotype), one type specimen was found also in MCZ.
