Pseudobiceros periculosus
Newman & Cannon, 1994
Taxonomic remarks.
The species belongs to a color group showing a dark background and orange to yellow margin that should be thoroughly revised.
Prudhoe (1977)
reported from Queensland a species with two male gonopores which he misidentified as
Pseudoceros flavomarginatus
. This species was listed under single male gonopore
Pseudoceros
species (
Laidlaw 1902, p. 297 and 298
), but Prudhoe’s specimen belongs to a darkbackground
Pseudobiceros
. The description by Prudhoe fits the species
Pseudobiceros periculosus
(
Newman & Cannon 1994
)
in marginal and background color, elongated cerebral eyespots group, and geographical proximity.
