Anoplodelphys cf. galli

Material examined: none.

Remarks: We are uncertain of the status of the specimens collected from D. fulgens, D. protectum, D. peyrefittense and D. maculosum originally described as the “atypical” form of A. incerta by Lafargue and Laubier (1978a: Figs 3 H–J, 4A–E, 5A–B). These specimens share with A. galli characters such as body form, and the size and disposition of legs 1–4 along the body (Table 2). However, they differ in the fine-scale arrangement of setules comprising the cuticular ornamentation on the body surface: the setules are isolated and irregularly arranged, or grouped in twos and threes, but have never been observed in the particular triad arrangement found in A. galli . In addition, the sclerotised apical claw of the antenna has coarser marginal teeth compared to the fine teeth present near the tip only in A. galli .
