palnense Carl, 1941b: 576-580 View in CoL , figs1-12 [ Pygmaeosoma ].

Upper Palnis: Kleine Shola bei Pumbarai, unter faulem Holz, 1900 m, 29.III.; Kukkal Shola, 1.IV.; Bombay- Shola bei Kodaikanal, 2200 m, 21.III.; Mariyan-Shola, 2300 m, 11.-14.IV.; Shola bei Vandaravu F. R., 2300 m, 6.- 10.IV. Unspecified number of ♂, ♀ and juveniles.

The MHNG collection contains seven microscope slide preparations of parts of syntypes: 1) a slide (MHNG- ARTO-18523) of legs, gnathochelidium and anterior segments with a label with “ Pygmaeosoma palnense Carl ♂, 1 re patte, gnathochelidium, segments 1-6” written on it; 2) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-18524) of a head with a label with “ Pygmaeosoma palnense Carl tête ♂ ” written on it; 3) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-18525) of mouthparts and legs with labels with “ Pygmaeosoma palnense ♀, pièces buccales, pattes 1 et 2, 2.II.41 ” and “Traitées à la potasse caust.” written on them; 4) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-18526) of legs with labels with “Süd-Indien, ♂ no. 1 Vandaravu, vord. Beinpaar” and “ Pygmaeosoma palnense Carl ” written on them; 5) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-18527) of head and mouthparts with a label with “ Pygmaeosoma palnense Carl, Kopf und Mundteile ” written on it; 6) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-18528) of head and legs with labels with “Pygmaeosma palnense ♀, capsule cephalique, Patte 3, II.41 ” and “Traitées à la potasse caust.” written on them; 7) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-18529) of gonopods with labels with “ Pygmaeosoma palnense Carl ♂, Palnis super.” and “Gonopoden I u. II und Fragmente von I” written on them. The MHNG collection once contained 21 syntypes in alcohol but these were loaned to William A. Sheer in 1987 and are apparently lost. Pygmaeosoma palnense is the type species of the genus Pygmaeosoma Carl, 1941 by monotypy ( Jeekel, 1971).
