Peradenia. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Humbert mentioned a series of varieties from several localities, but did not name them.The MHNG contains one card-mounted and four directly pinned specimens under the name Sphaeropoeus inermis , and four specimens in alcohol under the name Arthrosphaera inermis . The cardmounted specimen and one of the pinned specimens each have the label “Peradenia, Ceylon, Voyage Humbert.” Two of the pinned specimens have the label “Pundal O Vall., Ceylan, Voyage Humbert.” The other pinned specimen lacks a data label. The specimens in alcohol are in two vials, each with the label “ Sphaeropoeus inermis Humb. , Ceylan, Voy. Humbert”; these specimens were revised by Thomas Wesener in 2008. All are syntypes.
