In spite of its formation, it seems desirable to restore the original spelling of 
the specific name of this species, and it may fairly be credited to Bentliam, who 
first made the necessary transfer, though with a changed ending. 
The reduction of Llanos’ species is made on his own authority, and his descrip- 
tion makes it plausible. Zarcoa philippensis Llanos, reduced to this species by 
F.-Villar, certainly belongs elsewhere. Blanco appears not to have described it.
