Phyllodytes auratus Group

DIAGNOSIS: We are not aware of any possible synapomorphy for this group.

COMMENTS: We did not include any exemplar of this group, but we continue to recognize it following Caramaschi et al. (2004b) pending a rigorous test. Caramaschi et al. (2004b) diagnosed the different species groups based on color patterns; it is unclear if any of these patterns could be considered synapomorphic.

CONTENTS: Two species. Phyllodytes auratus (Boulenger, 1917) ; Phyllodytes wuchereri (Peters, ‘‘1872’’ [1873]).
