Rem.:

In Ramosus species group (hickmani subgroup).
For Nishida & Rumengan (2005, p.31) the four species most closely related to P. sulawesiensis, i.e. P. ishigakiensis, P. marinus, P. philippinensis and P.australiensis, all exhibit the Type-III geographic patterns: a confined distribution mainly restricted to the West Pacific (see Walter & al., 2002). The other known species of the hickmani subgroup, i.e. P. ardjuna, P. hickmani, P. hypersalinus and P. jonesi , exhibit the Type-II pattern and are confined mainly to the Indian Ocean (Walter & al., 2002). On the basis of the known occurrence records, the five speciesof Type-III appear to be more-or-less endemic to their respective ranges within the West Pacific: from north to south, the neritic waters of Japan (P. marinus, excluding records of synanthropic introduction and those lacking information in species identifications).
