Name
Polydesmus haroi Mauriès & Vicente, 1977 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Polydesmus haroi Mauriès & Vicente, 1977: 530.
- Polydesmus (Hormobrachium) haroi Vicente, 1979: 23.
- Propolydesmus haroi (Mauriès & Vicente, 1977): Enghoff and Golovatch (2003[1]: 82), Kime and Enghoff (2011[2]: 69), Djursvoll and Melic (2015[3]: 8).
Notes
The species was figured and described in detail by Mauriès and Vicente (1977)[4] based on material collected at Lago de Sanabria in Zamora province, with the main characters being the gonopod with two main gonopodal branches, exomere and endomere, and the seminal groove and solenophore-pulvillus extended onto endomere. These two characters differ from Propolydesmus but are in accordance with and support a phylogenetic relationship with the genus Polydesmus Latreille, 1802/03, and its type species Polydesmus complanatus Linnaeus, 1761.
It has similarities with P. asturiensis sp. nov. and P. biscayensis sp. nov. but differ in having a shorter exomere, the solenophore-pulvillus placed dorsally on the endomere and directed towards the exomere (Fig. 20), a wider space between the endomere and exomere, and in having a larger body size (length 17 mm). Propolydesmus haroi is here transferred back to Polydesmus.
