TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE SPECIMEN (S).— Ylaces (= Ilocos Prov.), Luzon Id., Philippines. Holotype: NMW 23401 View Materials .
PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION (ENDEMIC) ( Map 5A [p. 116]).— Babuyan Ids. (Babuyan Claro), Luzon (Prov.: Cagayan, Camarines Sur, Isabela, Ilocos, Laguna, Zambales).
REMARKS.— Although Leviton (1970:312) speculated that this species could be conspecific with B. angulata , recent phylogenetic studies (J. Weinell, pers. obser.) seem to rule out the possibilty of a close relationship between the two species. Furthermore, although Vogel (2015:13) suggested that B. philippina belongs to the B. drapiezii complex, his comments do not appear to be based on any new accompanying data.
CONSERVATION STATUS [IUCN].— Least Concern [2016] ver. 3.1. The confusion surrounding the identity and distribution of this species suggests it should be classified as “Data Defficient” until field and taxonomic studies clarify its staus.
