Polydrepanum sp. 3 — Sankaran & Sebastian, 2018: 171, fig. 6F (D).

Remarks. An unnamed species from an unspecified locality in Karnataka state, India, the right gonopod of which has been presented in a crude sketch by Bano and Murthy (1997), reproduced here in Figs 25 and 26. Because this species, albeit to be neglected in also being unnamed and based on material of unknown provenance and whereabouts, seems to show an untwisted gonofemorite, no basal loop of the solenomere, and a tripartite and complex solenophore, the distoventral half of which is distinctly enlarged, curved and acuminate, but the ventrobasal part bearing a process, it cannot be a Polydrepanum (cf. Figs 17–20 and 25, 26). Instead, this species so readily resembles the new Delarthrum to be described below that both these species are clearly congeneric, yet representing a genus different from Polydrepanum .
