Description
americanus Carl, 1902: 611-613, pl. 11, fig. 37 [Polydesmus].
Texas, J. Boll (Genfer Museum). Two ♂.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14296) under the name Pseudopolydesmus americanus. Both specimens have a pin running the length of the body. The data label in the jar reads “ Texas, J. Boll” and one of the identification labels has “ Type ” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. A handwritten note states that Hoffman examined the specimens in 1960 and intended to designate the smaller specimen as the lectotype; this designation does not appear to have been published and Hoffman (1999: 445) erroneously refers to a holotype deposited in the MHNG. Two microscope slide preparations of gonopods of syntypes (MHNG- ARTO-14297) are in a case glued to the lid of the jar.
A junior synonym of Pseudopolydesmus pinetorum (Bollman, 1888), Polydesmidae
