Even though several authors (see above) have claimed to deal with Strand's species, it should be noted that the identity of Ph. nagasakiensis remains ambiguous for several reasons. First, the species has never been adequately described and the type speci- mens are lost. Strand (1918) described only the epigynum and did not provide illustrations. Second, while numerous specimens are available from the Ryukyu Islands, no topotypical specimens seem to be available from Nagasaki or Kyushu Island. Irie's (1997) distribution map shows a single dot on Ky- ushu, which apparently just denotes the type locality rather than being backed by new material. Third, at least two closely related species occur in the Kyushu Region, Ph. nagasakiensis and Ph. otomi, and Strand's (1918) description does not allow to decide which is the 'real' Ph. nagasakiensis. Here I follow Yaginuma (1986) and Chikuni (1989) and consider the species with a slender procursus (and oval pore plates) as Ph. nagasakiensis. Obviously, further collecting at or near the type locality is necessary to test this assignment. Types.
