Typhloiulus Latzel, 1884 s . s.

= Haploprotopus Verhoeff, 1899: 195 . Type species: Julus ganglbaueri, Verhoeff, 1898 , by monotypy. = Smeringolophus Attems, 1959: 385 . Type species: Typhloiulus albanicus Attems, 1929 , by original designation. = Xestotyphloiulus Verhoeff, 1899: 195 . Type species: Iulus (recte: Julus ) psilonotus Latzel, 1884 , by monotypy. Comment. The gonopods of the only species of the subgenus Haploprotopus , T. ganglbaueri , show a conformation typical of Typhloiulus s. str. Verhoeff (1899) had stated the unmodified leg-pair he observed in 3 topotypic males as the only definitive character of the subgenus, but Strasser (1962) found it unsatisfactory. As concerns Smeringolophus and Xestotyphloiulus , their only species, T. albanicus and T. psilonotus , respectively, are undoubtful representatives of Typhloiulus s. str. Thus, these two former subgenera are here considered as junior subjective synonyms of the latter.
