Description

Genus Cylindrodesmus Pocock, 1889

Type species: Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889, by monotypy (type locality: Christmas Island, Australia).

= Haplosoma Verhoeff, 1894. Type species: Haplosoma strubelli Verhoeff, 1894, by monotypy. Synonymized by Pocock (1898).

= Haplosomum Brölemann, 1895. Type species: Haplosoma strubelli Verhoeff, 1894. Junior objective synonym of Haplosoma Verhoeff, 1894, adopted to eliminate homonymy (Jeekel 1971; Hoffman 1999).

= Haplodesmus Cook in Cook & Collins, 1895. Type species: Haplosoma strubelli Verhoeff, 1894. Junior objective synonym of Haplosoma Verhoeff, 1894, adopted to eliminate homonymy (Jeekel 1971).

= Haplosomides Attems, 1903. Type species: Haplosomides moelleri Attems, 1903, by monotypy. Synonymized by Attems (1907).

= Lasiodesmus Silvestri, 1908. Type species: Lasiodesmus caraibicus Silvestri, 1908, by monotypy. Synonymized by Loomis (1934).

= Inodesmus sensu Loomis 1934, non Cook 1896 (see Golovatch et al. 2001 and above).

= Elatosus Chamberlin, 1945. Type species: Elatosus pygmaeus Chamberlin, 1945, by original designation. Synonymized by Hoffman (1980) and confirmed by Golovatch et al. (2001).

= Hypsoporus Loomis, 1969. Type species: Inodesmus globulosus Loomis, 1964, by original designation. Synonymized by Enghoff (1978).

Diagnosis. Body with 19 (♂) or 20 (♀) segments, subcylindrical, not capable of volvation, with paraterga 2 rather well developed, but following ones mostly represented by lateral swellings. Collum and metaterga with abundant setation in part mixed with long, bisegmented, tactile setae. Gonopods especially simple; coxae with only a few ventrolateral setae; telopodite (= solenomere) sometimes with a lateral outgrowth at midway; seminal groove terminating subapically and devoid of a hairpad.
