Arrup dentatus ( Takakuwa, 1934a) [Japanese name: Shimizu-tsumejimukade]

Prolamnonyx dentatus Takakuwa, 1934a: 707 (key; available name).

Prolamnonyx dentatus Takakuwa, 1934b: 359–360 , figs 7, 8 (invalidly described as new); Attems 1947: 105 (key); Titova 1975: 45, 47, fig. 4B (key).

Prolamnonyx dentatus Takakuwa, 1934c: 883–884 , figs 27–33 (invalidly described as new).

Prolamnonyx dentatus (without attribution): Takakuwa 1940a: 94–96, figs 98–100.

Arrup dentatus: Crabill 1964: 166 (list) [ Takakuwa (1934b) cited as original description]; Foddai et al. 2003: 1261, table 1 [without attribution]; Bonato et al. 2003: table 1, figs 10, 12 [ Takakuwa (1934c) cited as original description]; Uliana et al. 2007: 13–15, figs 10–13 [authorship attributed to Takakuwa (1934b)]; Shinohara et al. 2015: 908 (list; without attribution).

Type series. No types were designated in Takakuwa (1934a –c), although Takakuwa (1934b, c) imply that the descriptions were based on multiple specimens. Takashima (1955) reported that 11 syntypes were preserved by Miyosi, but we found none of the syntypes in the Miyosi Collection and assume they have been lost.

Type locality. Takakuwa (1934a) did not state the type locality. Jozankei [as “Zyôzankei (bei Sapporo)” in Takakuwa (1934b)], Sapporo, Hokkaido, was mentioned as the locality of this species in Takakuwa (1934b, c).

Japanese name. Takakuwa (1934c) introduced a Japanese name for this species, “Shimizu-nagazujimukade”, which he later shortened to “Shimizu-jimukade” ( Takakuwa 1938b, 1939a), with one more change ( Takakuwa 1940a) to “Shimizume-jimukade”. This last name is obviously an error of “Shimizu-tsumejimukade”, as used by Murakami (1993) and Shinohara et al. (2015); we adopt this final spelling as current.

Remarks. The authorship of this species is cited as Takakuwa (1934b) in ChiloBase 2.0 (Bonato et al. 2016d) but should be corrected to Takakuwa (1934a).
