Description

89. Cormocephalus pustulatus Kraepelin, 190­3

Kraepelin 1903: 189–190, fig. 127 (as Cormocephalus pustulatus n. sp.)

Type locality and specimens. Neu-Kaledonien [New Caledonia] (Mus. Paris).

Dimensions. Länge [length] 65 mm.

Type material. Syntype (ZMH-A0000609). CALEDONIA [ca. 22°16’S, 166°27’E for Nouméa]. No additional data.

Preservation. 1 jar: Label. Cormoceph. pustulatus Krpln ex typis N.Caledonien Mus. Paris C. 18.X.03 (Kraepelin handwriting).

Old type catalogue. Weidner (1960), p. 67, No. 31. Paratype.

Type status. Only one specimen is measured in Kraepelin’s description (Länge 65 mm). It is possible that the ZMH specimen is that specimen but an inventory of the MNHN collections is necessary to determine type status.

Remarks. The specimen originates from the MNHN collections. Eugène Simon in Paris and Kraepelin frequently exchanged material and this is evident in the ZMH spider collections (Dupérré & Harms 2018). It seems that Kraepelin sent spiders to Simon who was a well-known araneologist back then and Kraepelin received material of “ Gliederspinnen ” (arachnids with a segmented abdomen such as scorpions, whip spiders and whip scorpions) and centipedes for his monographs in return. Unfortunately, no personal communication (e.g., letters or notes) have been preserved at the ZMH that document the exchange.

Current systematic position. Cormocephalus pustulatus Kraepelin, 1903.
