Pseudobiceros miniatus ( Schmarda, 1859)

Taxonomic remarks. This species was originally described as Eurylepta miniata ( Schmarda 1859) . Then its genus was discussed by Diesing (1862), who transferred it to Proceros , and Lang (1884), who transferred it to Yungia . Later, Stummer-Traunfels (1933) placed it into Pseudoceros . The drawings about Schmarda material inside Stummer-Traunfels’ paper (p. 3539, fig. 90), depict the species with two male gonopores, thus Faubel (1984) transferred it to Pseudobiceros . The presence of two male pores was also noted by Marcus (1950). We support that decision, as the species cannot belong to Yungia or Pseudoceros because of its two male gonopores. It is not clear why the species was not included into Newman & Cannon’s (1994, 1997) list of Pseudobiceros valid species.
