Name

Prosopodesmus kirrama Mesibov, 2012 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

Holotype

Male, Douglas Creek Road, Kirrama Range, Qld, 18°13'30"S, 145°48'13"E [±500 m], 800 m, 10 December 1986, G. Monteith and G. Thompson, berlesate 731, rainforest, sieved litter, QM S91629.

Paratypes

1 male, 2 stadium 7 males, details as for holotype, QM S91628; 2 males, 3 females, 1 stadium 6 male, near Yuccabine Creek, Kirrama Range, Qld, 18°12'21"S, 145°45'47"E [±500 m], 700 m, 10 December 1986, G. Monteith and G. Thompson, berlesate 732, QM S91626; 2 males, Kirrama Range, Qld, 18°12'57"S, 145°47'15"E [±500 m], 700 m, 9 December 1986, G. Monteith and G. Thompson, berlesate 730, QM S91627.

Other material

1 female, Upper Broadwater valley, Cardwell Range, Qld, 18°19'15"S, 145°58'34"E [±500 m], 800 m, 16 January 1987, S. Hamlet, berlesate 759, rainforest, sieved litter, QM S91631; 3 stadium 7 females, 1 stadium 6 female, same details but 700 m, 20 December 1986, G. Monteith, G. Thompson and S. Hamlet, berlesate 745, QM S91630.

Diagnosis

Males and females with head + 20 rings; adults 8–9 mm long; midbody metatergites typically with 3 transverse rows of 12 large tubercles; posterior portion of prozonite (Fig. 2B) with small disks, no microtubercles; ozopores not on porosteles; gonopod telopodite with two posterior bends, one at about midlength and one near tip, the more basal bend marked by strong anterior production of telopodite.

Description

As for Prosopodesmus crater, differing in the following details:
Male/female lengths ca 8/9 mm, respectively. Ring 12 with maximum vertical diameter 0.8 mm; maximum width (including paranota) 1.2 mm and 1.7X prozonite width. Ring 2 slightly narrower than collum. 3 transverse rows of typically 12+12+12 tubercles on metatergites.
Gonocoxae (Fig. 3B) massive, strongly tapering anteroventrally and posteroventrally. Telopodite (Figs 3B, 5B) strongly produced anteriorly at about midlength, bending posteriorly there and again near tip. Hairpad mound medial on posterior surface midway between second bend in telopodite and tip. Thin, rounded tab on medial edge of telopodite just below level of hairpad; thin, rounded tabs on lateral edge at level of first bend and just distal to hairpad; narrow longitudinal ridge medially on posterior telopodite surface from near base to near first bend.

Distribution

Rainforest in the mountains southwest from Tully and northwest from Ingham, Queensland, with a known north-south range of ca 25 km (Fig. 8).

Etymology

For the type locality, the Kirrama Range.
