Description

fossiger ussuwense Carl, 1909b: 299-300, pl. 6, figs 8-10 [Strongylosoma].

Sultanat Ost-Ussuwi im Süden der Residentur Bukoba. Unspecified number of ♂ (♀ not mentioned explicitly).

The MHNG collection contains 35 specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18566) contains 17 specimens; six have pins running the length of the body and are placed in individual vials, one is broken and placed in a vial with a smaller vial holding gonopods, and ten specimens, two of which are broken, are placed in the eighth vial. One of the original identification labels in the jar has “ types Ussuwe J. Carl” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The second jar (MHNG- ARTO-18569) contains 18 specimens; three have pins running the length of the body and five are broken. The labels in the jar are not original and have “Mabira” typewritten on them suggesting that these specimens are not syntypes. There are two syntypes in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960) and three in the MCZL.

A junior synonym of Eviulisoma fossiger (Carl, 1909), Paradoxosomatidae
