MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Palau. Koror, Ngeteklou Island (Kaibakku Island), tunnel into Marine Lake, 7°19.47’N, 134°29.42’E, 10 m, 1.XI.1995 (MNHN S1 POL.B 360).

REMARKS
This species (Fig. 128A), present in many parts of the western tropical Pacific and western Australia, is now recorded in the Philippines. It was also collected far from this region at Ibo Island, Mozambique. Tokioka (1970) described Polycarpa iwayamae, which has an external appearance very like that of P. argentata. Its internal anatomy does not present enough distinctive characteristics to justify a different species.
