Platygavialidium kraussi (Bolívar, 1887)

Gavialidium kraussi: Bolívar 1887 .

Eugavialidium kraussi: Hancock 1907a, Kirby 1910.

Eugavialidium kraussei: Bruner 1915 .

Platygavialidium kraussi: Günther 1938a, 1955, Kevan 1966, Blackith 1992, París 1994.

Type material not examined. París (1994) writes about two female syntypes (data: 2♀♀ SYNTYPES Philippinen. Thorey) deposited in Wiena.

Type locality: The Philippines (without specified locality).

Notes. There are two specimens—male and female—in OSF identified by Günther (1938) as this species, from the Philippines—Mindanao: Surigao, deposited in Berlin. Those specimens belong to P. dentifer . If identification based on comparison with types is correct, P. kraussi, P. dentifer and P. productum could be all synonymous and represent one species with high inter-specific variability, as is for example Scelimena noveguineae . Until the type specimens of the species are not examined, we will not synonymize them formally.
