Remarks.
Yap-Chiongco (1938)
“provisionally” identified
36 specimens
from Mindoro and
Palawan
as
Cl. sclopetarius
. This cannot be verified since the specimens have been lost and there is insufficient detail in the texts to permit re-identification. Given that the known distribution of
Cl. sclopetarius
is in the Atlantic, reports of this species in the
Philippines
are highly doubtful.
Yap-Chiongco (1938)
and
Estampador (1937
;
1959
) possibly confused
Cl. rhabdodactylus
with this species as these two species have similar banded legs (compare photos of the two species available in
Legall & Poupin, 2016
).
