Dolichostegia Schlechter, the name of a monotypic genus endemic to the Philippines, is lectotypified and the lectotype described and illustrated. Synonymy of Dolichostegia with Dischidia is accepted and a new combination, Dischidia boholensis (Schlechter) Livshultz, is made. The most likely type locality for D. boholensis , and for other R. C. McGregor specimens from Bohol, is limestone hill forest near Guindulman, in the south‐eastern corner of the island.
