Trichozonus Carl, 1905

Type species.

Trichozonus escalerae Carl, 1905, the type species by monotypy, Equatorial Guinea ( Carl 1905).

Description.

Female. 20 segments, body length 8 mm; paraterga modest, tergal setae long and bacilliform.

Remarks.

This genus is bound to remain dubious until a male topotypic sample from Fernando Po becomes available for study. The only other trichopolydesmid known from Fernando Po is Dendrobrachypus pusillus Verhoeff, 1941 (= Mecistoparia pusilla ), which is only 5.0-5.5 mm long ( Verhoeff 1941). Mauriès and Heymer (1996) tentatively synonymized Trichozonus with Physetoparia .
