039887A2FF88FFABFC5FF861FD08F7DA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Dana appears to have mentioned I. ovalis for the first time in 1849, and then published a description (Dana, 1853) under the name I. ellipticus. It appears that the second name has not been used since 1853. Icilius ovalis is a poorly described species. This is unfortunate because it is the type species of the genus. We tried to recollect this species in Sabah in Dec. of 1998, but the areas where we were able to dive, Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, were so degraded that there was little chance of the host or the species being present. Icilius ovalis appears to be a basal taxon with no clear sister species. It is the only Icilius with a spine on the posterodorsal margin of pleonite 3. It shares a broad mandibular palp with I. crinocolus, I. pulchellus and I. punctatus, but this may be a homoplasy. It has a mid-dorsal spine on the posterior margin of pleonite 1, a character it shares with I. caledoniana, I. crinocolus and I. danae, a mid-dorsal spine on the posterior margin of pleonite 2, a character it shares with I. caledoniana, I. crinocolus and I. danae and I. pulchellus.	en	Watson, M.
