Lasiococca brevipes (Merr.) Welzen & S.E.C. Sierra is a new combination based on Mallotus brevipes Merr. The new combination replaces Lasiococca malaccensis Airy Shaw, which appears to be a later synonym. The species is very rare, but widespread and seemingly with a very disjunct distribution, found in Sumatra, the Philippines, Sulawesi, and the Lesser Sunda Islands.
