Abstract

The phyllophorids Phyllophorella robusta, Selenkiella siamense and Cladolella virgo, as well as the sclerodactylid Clarkiella discoveryi, are the type species of their respective genera, all described by Heding & Panning (1954) and each known only from a single specimen, were revisited in order to reassess their morphology by means of optical and electron microscopy, and micro-computed tomography. Additionally, a new species of phyllophorid is described, the fourth of the genus Thorsonia.
