Phisis peregrina Karny, 1926: 190.

DISTRIBUTION. — Cocos Keeling, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea, Philippines, etc.

REMARKS

One female specimen (examined) possibly belonging to this species has been collected in Seychelles (Jin & Kevan 1992). Males would be required to confirm this identification. Nevertheless, it is absolutely clear that this female specimen does not belong to the known endemic Phisidini from Seychelles. Phisis peregrina is a very widespread species, occurring from southwestern Pacific to Indian Ocean.Other Ensifera species very widespread on Pacific and Indian Ocean islands are occurring on SWIO islands, such as Myrmecophilus americanus Saussure, 1877 (Wetterer & Hugel 2008) and Xiphidiopsis lita Hebard, 1922 (Hugel 2010a).
