Description

cardamomi Carl, 1932: 478-479, figs 86, 91-93 [Pseudosphaeroparia].

Anaimalais: Cardamum-Pflanzung bei Valparai, an Bach, unter sehr feuchtem Laub, 1100 m, 4.III (Type); Naduar- Estate, Kaffee-Pflanzung, 7.III. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains three broken specimens in alcohol, in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-14247) contains a vial containing a broken ♂ separated by a colon wool plug from a smaller vial containing gonopods and other fragments. The data label has “Anaimalais, Valparai 4.III ” written on it and the identification label has “ ♂ type!” written on it, indicating that the specimen is the holotype. The other (MHNG-ARTO-14248) contains two broken ♀ and a data label with “Anaimalais, Naduar Est. 7.III ” written on it. The female specimens can be considered paratypes.
