Striaria granulosa Bollman, 1888 View in CoL

Striaria granulosa Bollman, 1888 View in CoL , Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 10: 108. Type material evidently lost, but from Beaver Creek, Jefferson Co., Tennessee, originally deposited as type #230, USNMNH. Cook, 1899, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 21: 672. Loomis, 1936, J. Washington Acad. Sci.26: 408. Causey, 1958, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 71: 181. Hoffman, 1999, Virginia Mus. Nat. Hist. Special Publ. 8: 208. Bollman’s 1888 description of this species is incomplete and he thought his single specimen was a female. Cook (1899) had access to Bollman’s specimens and described, in great detail, a male. It is not clear if this was the same specimen Bollman used or not. Bollman (1888) mentions only a single, enrolled specimen so it may have been a male after all, and this is what Cook redescribed after unrolling it and finding it to be a male. Cook illustrated the tip of the anterior branch of the gonopod angiocoxite from two views, but provided no written description of the gonopods or ninth legs at all. WAS examined the holotypes of S. causeyae View in CoL and S. zygoleuca View in CoL as well as original material of S. columbiana View in CoL and was able to determine, based on Cook’s description and drawings, that S. granulosa View in CoL is probably not a senior synonym of any of those species. There have been several attempts to recollect the species at Beaver Creek or nearby, none of them successful. Causey (1958) recorded the species from localities in Georgia, Kentucky and North Carolina, but as all the specimens were juveniles, the records remain in doubt. She also considered S. zygoleuca View in CoL a junior synonym of S. granulosa View in CoL (without presenting evidence) so some of her records may apply to that species if indeed it is not a synonym.
