Pseudobiceros punctatus Laidlaw 1902

Description

Pseudobiceros punctatus (Laidlaw, 1902) nov. comb.

Taxonomic remarks. The species “ Pseudoceros ” punctatus is also absent from any species lists but Marcus’ (1950). The original description (Laidlaw, 1902) let no doubt of the specimen having two male gonopores, because it was listed under the Pseudoceros species with a pair of penes. It is, thus transferred here to Pseudobiceros as a new combination. The species still lacks a re-description that would contain internal and pharynx details.
