Carlogonus spinicaudus ( Gervais, 1847) n. comb.

Iulus spinicaudus Gervais, 1847: 165 .

TYPE MATERIAL. — N° IA 097, 1 holotype.

TYPE LOCALITY. — The holotype derives from the Malabar coast of South India, collected by Dussumier (or Duffumier?).

REMARKS

The male holotype (holotype status presumed from the original description alone that gives no size variation), is very close to if not identical with Carlogonus subvalidus ( Carl, 1941) , from India, hence the new combination in the genus created by Demange (1961). A final decision about synonymy of the two names should be preceded by comparison of their type specimens (cf. Carl 1941).
