Remarks.

Reeve (legend to pl. 70: "Mus. Pfeiffer") evidently based his description on material from Pfeiffer, who referred to " physodes (Menke mss.)"; this species was published as such by Menke (1843: 7), and Reeve’s name is therefore probably an emendation of Menke’s name. However, as Menke’s material is presumably lost (B.J. Smith 1992: 105), these specimens are interesting, since they may have originated via Pfeiffer from Menke’s collection.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon melo (Quoy and Gaimard, 1832).
