Name

Timonius pachyphyllus Merr., Philipp. J. Sci. 26: 494 (1925)

• Typus: M. Ramos sub Bur. Sci. 40794 (20 April 1922, [female]; holotypus: PNH, destroyed; lectotypus: P [​P03906974], designated by Chavez, Alejandro & Meve 2017: 146; isolectotypi: A 00969803^(JSTOR), K [​K000763548^(JSTOR)]).
  • Note: Darwin (1994: 61) stated that an isotype was deposited in A, but A 00312918^(JSTOR) is a collection made by Yoshio KONDO (in Ticao Island, Masbate, 31 March 1957, during the Philippine-Hawaii Expedition) and thus cannot serve as lectotype.
• Type locality: Philippines. Luzon, Rizal Province: Mount Angilog, on forested slopes, altitude about 1,200 meters.
