Abstract
The Indo-Malayan genus Lipotactes Br.-W. is subdivided into nine subgenera: Lipotactes s. str.; Mortoniellus Griff., stat. n.; Prolipotactes subgen. n.; Dialipotactes subgen. n.; Neolipotactes subgen. n.; Miolipotactes subgen. n.; Sublipotactes subgen. n.; Analipotactes subgen. n.; Eulipotactes subgen. n. The following new species and subspecies of this genus are described from Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi: L. (L.) alienus lambir subsp. n.; L. (L.) a. similajau subsp. n.; L. (L.) a. kubah subsp. n.; L. (L.) sumatranus sp. n.; L. (P.) hamatus wartabone subsp. n.; L. (P.) h. lorelindu subsp. n.; L. (P.) h. irisovi subsp. n. Some former species taxa are reduced to subspecies ones: L. (S.) khmericus samkos Ingr., stat. n.; L. (S.) kh. saengeri Ingr., stat. n.; L. (S.) discus productus Ingr., stat. n. For several other taxa of this genus, new localities and some other data are given.

Summary
Rostrum of head not lamellar, typical of this genus; male last tergite with a short posteromedian lobe having concave or almost straight posterior edge (this lobe possibly originating from basal part of epiproct more or less fused with last tergite but separated from more distal part of epiproct by strong transverse fold); male epiproct not reduced, without lateral lobules, with small (but distinct) roundly triangular distal part directed more or less downwards; male paraproct with wide, horizontally lamellar and apically rounded projection at apex; male cercus elongately subcylindrical, with short or long apical spine directed medially, with more strong ventromedial spine directed medially (?= proximedial hook in previous subgenera) but located almost in middle part of cercus, and with dorsomedial longitudinal keel on proximal part of cercus
