( Fig. 3B, E View Figure 3 ).

Heller, Phil. Journ. Sci., Sec. D (1912), 7, 376, Pl. 1, fig. 29, 29a; Schultze, Phil. Journ. Sci. (1916), 11(2), 136.

♀ marginenodosus Chevr., Le Natur. (1881), 3, 439; Heller, Phil. Journ. Sci., Sec. D (1912), 7, 376.

Distribution: Talaud ( Indonesia); Luzon ( Philippines).

Heller described type of the species from Talaud , Indonesia , while specimens appearing at Luzon, Philippines, formed a different population. Considering lack of examples when same Pachyrhynchini species appear on such a wide range and no future species records from the Luzon Island , species should be considered endemic to Talaud Island, Indonesia .
