Description

velox Carl, 1912a: 271-272, figs 1-4 [Trigoniulus].

Aru-Archipel: Dobo, Wangil (Wald, in Baumstämmen und in der Erde) und Durdjela, Wammer, Samang und Sungi Panua auf Wokam, Seltutti und am Sungi Kolobobo auf Kobroor. Kei-Archipel: Kei-Dulah. Unspecified series, only ♂ mentioned explicitly.

The MHNG collection contains four specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14438). Two of the specimens have pins running part of the length of the body. The identification labels in the jar both have “Iles Key ex. coll. Merton” written on them and there is a printed “ Type ” label, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The SMF collection contains 19 specimens in alcohol in eleven jars (SMF 1353, 1378, 1380, 1383, 1384, 1391, 1393, 1395, 1396, 1434, 1436) from Wammer Insel (Aroe), Dobo (Wammer Insel), Sungi Kolobobo (Kobroor), Durjela (Wammer Insel), zw. Dobo u. Wangil, Wakum and Aroe. There are at least six ♂ specimens. After examination of the types the ♂ and dissected gonopods (SMF 1395) with “Aroe: Wammer-Ins., Durjela, Merton, 1908” written on the identification label is hereby designated as lectotype. Trigoniulus velox was designated as the type species of the genus Eucarlia Brölemann, 1913 in the original description (Jeekel, 1971).

Eucarlia velox (Carl, 1912), Pachybolidae
