It appears that Leach considered this as not specifically distinct from Ph. globulosa, 
which is very probably correct.

. Of the foregoing species I have only seen specimens of the first two and of the last. 
Of Ph. scabriuscula there are several in the Banksian Collection of the Linnean Society, — 
in the British Museum, and in my own collection. Philyra globulosa is in the British 
Museum; and of Ph. platycheira I have a specimen from the Philippines. I have 
endeavoured to select those characters which are essentially distinctive. Those of De 
Haan’s two new species, I have taken verbatim from his work. « 2

Front with two small acute teeth in the centre, and two broader ones at the inner canthus - 
of the orbit. The epistome not extending beyond the front. A rather prominent ridge 
m the pterygostomian region, which is without any granulations. The external foot-jaws 
with the palp dilated at the outer side, and then narrowed towards the apex; the buccal
