Pelodrilus Beddard 1891

Description

Genus Pelodrilus Beddard, 1891

Pelodrilus pseudotuberculatus Zicsi, 1998

Pelodrilus pseudotuberculatus Zicsi, 1998a Mitt. Hamb. Zool. Mus. Inst. 95: 61.

Remarks. Brinkhurst (1966) merged Pelodrilus Beddard, 1891, Heterochaetella Yamaguchi, 1953 and Adenodrilus Cekanovskaya, 1959 with Haplotaxis Hoffmeister, 1843. Zicsi (1998a) argued for the resurrection of the genus Pelodrilus on the basis of its special Gondwanean distribution.
