Comments. This species has evident characters of Nyctimenius, and is thus transferred from Pothyne to Nyctimenius. Mr. Shigehiko Shiyake (OMNH) told the senior author that when he treated this specimen he found the head of the specimen separated from the body, and he pasted the head on a piece of triangular paper (Fig. 17).
