Monodauropus mirabilis Remy, 1953 View in CoL
TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype by monotypy, “Femelle 9 pp. Vuillaume 28. VI.51”, microscopic slide ( PMLA001 ).
The collecting site in Ivory Coast stated in Remy’s description is “Institut intercolonial d’Adiopodoumé”, which is situated in the Abengourou Region at the road between Abidjan and Abengourou.
REMARKS
The coverglass has been removed long time ago and the type specimen could not be found.
Remy’s description states that, as distinguished from other species in Pauropodidae Lubbock, 1867 the setae of the tergites were very thick, fusiform, annulate and yellow and that they were placed in distinctly sclerotized shields. The legs were unusually short. Remy was an able taxonomist and there is no reason to question his observations but because the holotype has disappeared, Monodauropus mirabilis has to be considered incertae sedis until further specimens have been collected.
