Psolidiella mollis Ludwig & Heding

Description

Psolidiella mollis (Ludwig & Heding)

Table 1.

Pseudocholochirus mollis Ludwig & Heding, 1935: 204 –209, figs 62–65.— O’Loughlin, 2000: 25. Psolidiella mollis. — Panning, 1949: 415.— Pawson, 1969: 37, pl. 22 map 1.— Pawson, 1970: 36.— Gutt, 1988: 22.— Gutt, 1991: 323, 324.

Remarks. Panning (1949) referred Pseudocolochirus mollis Ludwig & Heding, 1935 to Psolidiella Mortensen, 1925 a. In a subsequent treatment Panning (1971) did not include P. mollis in Psolidiella, but did not reassign the species. O’Loughlin (2000) reviewed Psolidiella and, being unfamiliar with P. mollis, followed Panning (1971) and omitted P. mollis from Psolidiella. Current familiarity with the species confirms the original referral by Panning (1949) of Pseudocolochirus mollis Ludwig & Heding, 1935 to Psolidiella Mortensen, 1925 a.
