tamilum Carl, 1932: 434-436 View in CoL , figs 16-18 [ Polydrepanum ].
Süd-Indien: “Madras”, J. R. Henderson leg. (Brit. Museum). Three ♂ and three ♀.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14392). The specimens, each have a pin running the length of the body, are in a small vial and there are gonopods and legs in a smaller vial. The label in the large vial housing the two smaller ones has “ Polydrepanum tamilum Carl , ♂ ♀ cotypes, ♂ type gonop., pattes 1, 2, 7, Madras Henderson leg.” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. Jeekel (1980a) says that the other syntypes “are obviously preserved” in the BMNH, and there are syntpes in their collection; for some reason he referred to the species as P. tamulum . Polydrepanum tamilum is the type species of the genus Polydrepanum Carl, 1932 by monotypy ( Jeekel, 1971).
