Description

asperrimus Carl, 1932: 441-443, figs 27-30 [Grammorhabdus].

Palnis: Maryland, Neutral Saddle; exponierter Westhang, ca. 1600 m, 19.IV. – Tandikudi, ca. 1500 m, Cardamum- Plantage, 23. IV. More than one ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains five specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14362) contains one specimen with a pin running the length of the body and a data label with “Palnis inf., Tandikudi” written on it. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14363) contains four specimens, two with a pin running the length of the body and the other two broken into several pieces. One of the specimens with a pin running the length of the body is separated in a smaller vial, and there is another vial with gonopods. The data label has “ Maryland, Palnis inf.” written on it. There is also a pencil written label reading “ ♂ lectotype and 3 ♀ lectoparatypes”. Jeekel (1980a: 176) designated the ♂ from Neutral Saddle as the lectotype, the other specimens are paralectotypes. Grammorhabdus asperrimus is the type species of the genus Grammorhabdus Carl, 1932 by monotypy (Jeekel, 1971). An undated typewritten label in the jar states that Hoffman identified the specimens as Polydrepanum asperrimum (Carl).

Polydrepanum asperrimum (Carl, 1932), Paradoxosomatidae
