The hitherto monospecific genus is revised based on the syntypes of Attems, 1938, housed in Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NHMW), as well as on specimens of what we interpret as a new species of the genus, Pleonoporustanzanicus sp. nov., collected in Tanzania and housed in the Museum of Nature - Zoology, Leibnitz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (ZMH) for more than a century. Both species are described based on habitus and gonopod structures and illustrated with micrographs, whereas scanning electron microscope images are also provided for the new species. This paper further highlights the importance of natural history collections for taxonomic research and studies on species diversity in general.
基于维也纳自然历史博物馆(NHMW)收藏的1938年阿滕斯所定模式标本,以及我们认定为该属新物种——坦桑尼亚多突马陆(Pleonoporustanzanicus sp. nov.)的标本(该标本已在莱布尼茨生物多样性变化分析研究所自然动物学博物馆(ZMH)保存了一个多世纪),对迄今单种属进行了修订。两个物种均根据其形态和生殖肢结构进行描述,并用显微照片进行说明,同时还为新物种提供了扫描电子显微镜图像。本文进一步强调了自然历史藏品对于分类学研究以及物种多样性研究的重要性。
