Abstract: The subgenus Gelaeus Waterhouse, 1905 of Chrysodema Laporte & Gory,
1835 is revised based on comparative study of extensive material including
types of all described taxa. The subgenus is restricted to the Lesser Sunda
Islands and Selayar Islands, Indonesia. Three new species and six subspecies are
described: Chrysodema (Gelaeus) katka sp. nov. from Timor Island, C. (G.)
oborili oborili sp. nov. from Yamdena Islands, C. (G.) oborili laratensis subsp.
nov. from Larat Island, C. (G.) sara sp. nov. from Babar Island, C. (G.) walkeri
bilyi subsp. nov. from Selaru Island, C. (G.) walkeri horaki subsp. nov. from
Leti Island, C. (G.) walkeri kubani subsp. nov. from Romang Island, C. (G.)
walkeri nigriventris subsp. nov. from Moa Island, and C. (G.) walkeri rejzeki
subsp. nov. from Alor Island. Chrysodema (G.) wetteriana (Théry, 1935) stat.
nov. is raised to species rank (formely subspecies of C. (G.) walkeri
(Waterhouse, 1892)). Chrysodema moluensis Novak, 2010 is assigned to Gelaeus
and downgraded to subspecies C. (G.) iris moluensis Novak, 2010, stat. nov.
Chrysodema (G.) cupriventris (Kerremans, 1898), stat. restit. is removed from
synonymy of C. (G.) walkeri. Chrysodema (G.) florensis Lansberge, 1880, assign.
nov. and C. (G.) cyanicollis Kerremans, 1900, assign. nov. are transferred from
the nominotypical subgenus to Gelaeus. Lectotypes are designated for following
taxa to ensure their correct application and recognition in future: Chrysodema
(G.) florensis Lansberge, 1880, C. (G.) foraminifera Lansberge, 1879, C. (G.)
iris (Kerremans, 1898), C. (G.) walkeri (Waterhouse, 1892), and C. (G.)
wetteriana (Théry, 1935). All herein included taxa are illustrated with colour
habitus photographs as is the male aedeagus when available. A key to all taxa
is given.
