Specimens examined. P. limatus : Philippines, Luzon, Mt. Makiling (holotype, NHMW, plus 1 other individual); Malaysia, Sabah, Danum Valley (52,Hulcr det., MSUC); New Guinea, Madang Prov. (1, Hulcr det., MSUC). E. subemarginatus : Java, Batoerraden (Lectotype, USNM); Indonesia, Java, Batoerraden (3 paratypes, NHMW); Indonesia, Java, Bandjar (2, Hulcr det., NHMW). E. subparallelus : Indonesia, Java, Batoerrad (lectotype and 1 non-type, USNM); Malaysia, Sarawak, Mt. Dulit (1, Hulcr det., NHMW).

Comments. P. limatus was placed in Planiculus in both morphological and molecular phylogenies (100% posterior probability, Cognato et al., 2011). It is similar to P. b i c o l o r (sharing small tubercles on interstriae 1 and 3), but its declivital apex is emarginate. Lectotype of E. subemarginatus differs from P. limatus by its smaller granules on declivital surface, larger granules on the end of interstriae 1, and less prominent posterolateral declivital costa. These features are extremely variable in Planiculus , also vary among the lectotype and paratypes of E. subemarginatus . Types of E. subemarginatus and E. subparallelus are virtually identical.
