Comments: Like the specimens encountered in Scott & Prescott (1961) from Kalimantan, the lateral lobes are more retuse compared to the original depicitons from Krieger (1932). Scott & Prescott (1961) also noted this morphological difference did not warrant any taxonomic recognition as it is merely polymorphism.

Distribution: Reported from Indonesia (inc. Kalimantan) and the Philippines.
