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 ( 1978 a: Figs 3 H–J, 4 A–E, 5 A–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 .
