Environment marine, brackish, fresh, terrestrial
Fossil range recent only
Specimen  Lectotype: WMNH 302, locality Palau Exclusive Economic Zone (Aibuhit, Babeldaob Island, Palau, Western Caroline Islands, near 7.3461 134.5132) [details]
Notes  Distribution: Widely reported subsequently (as P. aibuhitensis q.v.), especially from the asian mainland, although the type locality is the isolated Pacific island of Palau. [details]

Etymology: Named for "Aibuhit" a collection location name of Professor Semper (as reported by Grube) on Babeldaob Island, Palau, Western Caroline Island group. [details]

Type localityPalau. Not the Philippine Islands. Grube (1878:iii) states "Ausser den Philippinen kommt noch Aibuhit auf Bahaltaub [sic], einer der Palaos-Inseln ..." ["Apart from the Philippines Aibuhit is on Bahaltaub [today Babeldaob], one of Palaos Islands"]. Type locality is thus Aibuhit on Babeldaob, the main island of Palau, Western Caroline Islands. Information on "Aibuhit" could not be found, and currently the location may be spelled differently from Grube's usage. [details]
