Poritiinae - Addendum
The following species were recorded from the Indo-Chinese region in previous publications, however were omitted from the list for the reasons written below.
Simiskina proxima dohertyi Evans, 1925
[ THAILAND ]
Simiskina proxima dohertyi ; Pinratana,1981 : 22, 157. (Phuket; Ranong) (in part)
Simiskina proxima dohertyi ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : 544. (Khao Soi Dao; Thale Ban) (in part)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinratana (1981) recorded this taxon from Phuket and Ranong, P.Thailand.
However, I could not find any specimens of this taxon in the Pinratana collection.
Therefore, these are considered to be misidentifications.
Ek-Amnuay (2012) recorded it from Khao Soi Dao, S.E.Thailand and Thale Ban, P.Thailand, but these are considered to be misidentifications of Simiskina phalia.
I have never seen a specimen of this species from Thailand.
Therefore, I remove this taxon from the list until a reliable specimen is found.
