Physopleurella mundula

Authors/Creators

Description

48. Physopleurellamundula (White).

Cardiastethus mundulus White, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. IV, 20: 111, 1877.

Thirty-one specimens, Machanao, beaten from dead leaves of a fallen tree, June 4, Usinger; two specimens, Barrigada, June 24, Usinger.

These specimens seem to agree perfectly with topotypical specimens from Hawaii. I cannot see from the descriptions that the Japanese and Papuan species, armata Poppius and obscura Poppius, can apply to this series or that the slight differences mentioned between these two are significant.
