Distribution. Oriental Region: Philippines: Cebu (GA- PUD 2003), Leyte ( GAPUD 1981), Luzon ( KORMILEV 1971, RIEGER 1977, GAPUD & SAN VALENTIN 1977, YANO et al. 1981, NIESER & CHEN 1999, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2012), Mindanao ( RIEGER 1977, GAPUD 1981, NIESER & CHEN 1999, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2012), Mindoro ( KORMILEV 1971, GAPUD & SAN VALENTIN 1977), Palawan ( KORMILEV 1971, GAPUD 2003), Romblon ( GAPUD 1981).

Note. According to GAPUD (1981), out of the twelve individuals he examined, all except one agreed with the diagnosis of O. marginatus insularis by RIEGER (1977). He considered difficult to assess whether these characters are sufficient for a subspecies delimitation. According to POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS (2012), the population of O. marginatus from Bali may also belong to this subspecies (see Notes under O. marginatus marginatus ).
