+, i. e., to correctly conserve
+
+P. sakalava
+de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897
+
+as the older, and therefore valid, name (see below), and to replace
+
+P. sakalava
+de Saussure & Zehntner, 1901
+
+as a later and invalid name (
+Mesibov et al. 2018
+). No material of
+
+Polydesmus sakalava
+
+could be traced at the

+SMF
+
+(P. Jäger, pers. comm.
+April 2024
+) and the type locality is Nosy Be (

+)
+
+
+
+
+Brief description.
+
+
+(After
+de Saussure and Zehntner 1901
+,
+1902
+.) First described in a short text with three drawings (
+de Saussure and Zehntner 1901: 8–10
+). Combined with a later verbal description of the adult
+♂
+holotype
+, by
+de Saussure and Zehntner (1902)
+, the following relevant information can be derived: colouration brick red, metaterga castaneous brown, ends of paraterga brick red. Length
+26 mm
+, width
+4.5 mm
+. Paraterga strong, clearly rounded and crenulate laterally, acute caudolaterally. Metaterga with five, transverse rows of conical tuberculations (Fig.
+4 A
+).
+
+
+
+Gonopods highly elaborate and complex, with coxites and densely setose prefemorites short and fused medially; femorites strongly flattened dorsoventrally, contiguous medially and fused in about basal half, without a sternal rudiment visible ventrally, each femorite setose until acropodite, this latter highly complex, basically 3 - branched: (1) what seems to be a long and flagelliform solenomere branch (sl) lying lateral to and supported by (2) the highest solenophore branch (sph), unequally bifid apically, sl and sph both slightly and regularly curved ventrad; and (3), more basally, at apical ~ 1 / 3, a very complex lateral branch (lb) consisting of an ear-shaped lateral outgrowth (e) with a shelf ventrobasally, a strong, subacuminate, distomesal uncus, regularly curved mesad and lying just distal to (e) shelf, and a twisted mesal lobe (m), directed distally, originating near lb base and with its tip curved ventrad (Fig.
+4 B, C
+).
+
+
+
+
+Remarks.
+
+
+It is only the unusually complex gonopodal conformation of
+
+E. voeltzkowi
+
+that allows us to clearly distinguish the genus
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+from the superficially very similar
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+: femorites densely setose all over the ventral and lateral sides, relatively stout, only ~ 2 × as long as acropodites and, much like
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+, clearly flattened dorsoventrally (vs much longer, slender, and subcylindrical, less strongly setose to nearly bare); solenomere (sl) lateral, long, flagelliform and non-sigmoid (
+vs
+medial, short, usually simple and rather rod- or lobe-shaped, often sigmoid), lateral branch (lb) remarkably tripartite and complex (vs lb unipartite and usually simple).

+can be readily distinguished from other known Malagasy
+Dalodesmidae
+: the small size, a subcylindrical body, the mostly small, conical, and sharp tuberculations on midbody metaterga arranged in four unusually regular transverse rows, and strikingly small, narrow, and rectangular paraterga.
+
+
+
+
+First description of the male.
+
+
+Length ca
+10 mm
+, width of midbody pro- and metazona 0.75 and
+1.05 mm
+, respectively.
+
+Colouration (freshly preserved in ethanol) brown; prozona, basal parts of legs, mandibles, and paraprocts paler. Epicranium grey, antennae and apical parts of legs faded grey.
+
+Body with 20 rings. Tegument mainly dull (Fig.
+1 A – F
+), microgranulate to microtuberculate throughout (Fig.
+1 G, H
+), even surfaces of prozona and of metazona below paraterga finely microgranulate, sterna granulate.
+
+
+Head also densely microtuberculate or granulate throughout, micropilose; epicranial suture thin, but distinct; genae squarish, set off ventrally from gnathochilarial stipes by a small, but evident ridge. Interantennal isthmus ~ 2 × diameter of antennal socket (Fig.
+1 C
+).
+
+Antennae very short and rather clavate, in situ reaching back past ring 2 when stretched dorsally, very densely setose and microgranulate. In length, antennomere 6> 5 = 3> 4> 2> 1 = 7; antennomere 6 the largest and the highest, antennomeres 5 and 6 each with a small, round, distodorsal knob, most likely beset with sensory cones.
+
+In width, collum = head <ring 2> 3 = 4–16; thereafter body gradually tapering towards telson (Fig.
+1 A – C
+). Collum transversely suboval, regularly and broadly rounded laterally, densely tuberculate, most tuberculations being circular, evident, equipped with very short, mostly subclavate setae and arranged in 15–17 lateral, 8–9 transverse, rather irregular, arcuated rows. Metaterga 2–4 narrow, each with four, similar, transverse, arcuated, circular rows of setigerous tubercles, following metaterga each largely with five such rows (Fig.
+2 A, B
+). Paraterga short, rectangular, strongly declivous, posterior margin straight (Fig.
+2 B, C
+). Lateral margin of paraterga beset with 5–6 similarly circular, setigerous (Fig.
+2 D
+) tubercles / lobulations. Ozopores inconspicuous, opening laterally near penultimate lateral lobulation on pore-bearing rings 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15–19. Strictures between pro- and metazona narrow and rather deep, nearly smooth (Fig.

+
+First two leg pairs shorter and thicker than other legs. Midbody legs incrassate, medium in length, as long as body height, with small, stout, abundant, and usually curved setae with admixture of sphaerotrichomes ventrally on all podomeres; gonopores on coxae 2 inconspicuous, prefemora not bulged laterally; claws simple, very small; in length, tarsus> femur> prefemur> coxa> tibia = postfemur.
+
+Gonopods (Figs

Femorites (fe) contiguous medially, densely setose both ventrally and laterally, rather stout (~ 2 × as long as acropodites), suberect and clearly flattened dorsoventrally. Acropodite tripartite, divided into a dorsomedial, long, simple and subsecuriform solenomere (sl), a simple and subspiniform lateral branch (lb), both sl and lb being subequal in length, but clearly shorter than the longest, simple, rather finger-shaped, apically roundly and irregularly trifid, mesal branch (mb).

+
+Remarks.
+
+
+Aside from the very obvious differences between
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+and
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+in the development and shape of paraterga, clear-cut discrepancies also concern leg lengths (in
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+, the whole legs, especially both postfemora and tibiae are shorter), the antennae are also shorter, the collum is as wide as the head, the head is completely micropilose, including the epicranium (vs glabrous in
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+), the paraprocts of the telson lack triangular setiferous knobs / projections (vs 2 + 2 setae borne on knobs on the paraprocts), and the 1 + 1 setae on the hypoproct are borne on prominent knobs and better separated (vs placed closer to one another in
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+).

+
+
+Colouration, after less than 6 months of preservation in alcohol, dark grey to blackish, collum faded brown, head brown, epicranium grey, legs pale grey; antennae dark brown (Fig.
+6 A – C
+).
+
+
+
+Body with 20 rings. Tegument mainly dull, microgranulate to microtuberculate throughout (Figs
+5 A – D
+,
+6 A – C
+,
+7 A – D
+), even surfaces of prozona and of metazona below paraterga finely microgranulate, sterna granulate. Head also densely microtuberculate or granulate throughout, micropilose up to level of antennae; epicranial suture thin, but distinct; genae squarish, set off ventrally from gnathochilarial stipes by a small, but evident ridge. Interantennal isthmus ~ 2 × diameter of antennal socket. Antennae short and rather clavate, in situ reaching in both sexes back past ring 4 when stretched dorsally, very densely setose and microgranulate. In length, antennomere 6> 3> 5> 4 = 2> 1 = 7; antennomere 6 the largest and the highest, antennomeres 5 and 6 each with a small, round, distodorsal knob, most likely beset with sensory cones. In width, collum ≤ head <ring 2 = 3 <4–16; thereafter body gradually tapering towards telson (Fig.
+6 A – C
+). Collum transversely suboval, regularly and broadly rounded laterally, densely tuberculate, most tubercles slightly oblong-oval, evident, equipped with very short, mostly subclavate setae and arranged in 16–17 lateral, 6 transverse, rather irregular, arcuated rows. Metaterga 2–4 narrow, each with 3–4 similar transverse arcuated rows of setigerous tubercles, following metaterga each largely with 4–5 such rows (Fig.
+7 A, B
+). Paraterga well-developed, set high (mostly at upper ¼ body), upturned to subhorizontal, thus leaving the dorsum only faintly convex (Fig.
+7 B
+); anterior and posterior margins of paraterga 2 and 3 clearly drawn forward and caudad, respectively, following paraterga drawn increasingly only caudad (Fig.
+6 A – C
+); caudal corners sharp, produced past rear tergal margin; caudal margins of paraterga with five oblong projections (Fig.
+7 B
+). Lateral margins of paraterga beset with numerous, similarly oblong and usually subequal, setigerous tubercles / lobulations. Ozopores inconspicuous, opening dorsally near penultimate lateral lobulation on pore-baring rings 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15–19. Strictures between pro- and metazona narrow and rather deep, nearly smooth.

+
+
+Gonopods (Figs

Both coxites and prefemorites (= densely setose parts of telopodites) equally very short and stout, fused medially, the former fully and the latter mostly hidden inside gonopodal aperture. Femorites (fe) contiguous medially in basal 1 / 3, setose almost all along, both slightly diverging distad towards acropodites. Apical portions of each telopodite (= acropodites) clearly diverging, rather simple and compact, curved ventrad and clearly divided into three unequal branches: a short, slightly curved, submesal, tubiform, simple and non-sigmoid solenomere (sl) flanked by a rather simple, 2 - branched solenophore, this latter being represented by a flagelliform, slightly barbed, short and acuminate lateral branch (lb), and a particularly large, lobe-shaped, acuminate and membranous mesal branch (mb) with a tooth near base.

+

+
+
+
+
+Note.
+
+
+This species was described from a
+♂
+holotype
+coming from an unspecified locality in central
+Madagascar
+(
+Cook 1896
+), in the
+
+ZMB
+
+collection, revised. The type series,
+
+ZMB
+
+MYR 2110, actually contains
+two ♂
+syntypes
+, one with dissected and missing gonopods, apparently the one depicted by
+Jeekel (1965)
+, the second
+♂
+with still intact gonopods (Fig.
+11 A – F
+). Originally,
+
+D. hova
+
+was verbally described from an uncertain number of
+syntypes
+of both sexes (
+de Saussure and Zehntner 1901
+,
+1902
+), with males from ‘ Madagascar’ (coll. Sikora), as well as females and juveniles from Nosy Be Isle. Franz Sikora collected in
+Madagascar
+around the capital city
+Antananarivo
+and briefly in the southeast around Fort Dauphin.
+Hoffman (1974)
+recorded and illustrated the gonopods of
+
+D. hova
+
+from a
+♂
+taken as far away from part of the type locality (Nosy Be) as the Andasibe National Park (= Périnet) in eastern
+Madagascar
+, questioning such a vast and disjunct distribution. An incomplete
+♂
+syntype
+(with missing gonopods) from Nosy Be and
+2 ♀
+non-types from Nosy Sakatia Isle, all in the
+
+SMF
+
+collection, were later revised and partly depicted (
+Golovatch and Hoffman 1989
+). An additional
+six syntypes
+, collected by Franz Sikora, including the male on which the illustration of the gonopod was based in the original description, are in the
+
+MHNG
+
+collection (
+Hollier and Wesener 2017
+), as well as a non-type tube labeled “
+
+Tubercularium hova
+
+”, “ Madag. Fort Dauphin, S 2 Remy 49; leg. Remy, det. Attems 1951 ”, in the
+
+NHMW
+
+collection.
+
+
+
+Hoffman (1974)
+listed the type locality as Nosy Be, overlooking that the only male specimens used for the first description by de Saussure and Zehntner had come in fact from Franz Sikora (so either central
+Madagascar
+or Fort Dauphin in the southeast). We discovered another Malagasy
+Dalodesmidae
+species (see
+
+Phymatodesmus sakalava
+
+above) collected by Franz Sikora that had actually come from Andasibe, exactly the same locality whence Hoffman briefly redescribed the species and finely illustrated its gonopodal structure. Thus, based on the female-based records of “
+
+D. hova
+
+”,
+
+D. tectus
+
+could be a congener particularly widely distributed across
+Madagascar
+, ranging from the isles of Nosy Be and Nosy Sakatia in the very north to Fort Dauphin (Tolagnaro) in the very southeast. If true, this seems to be the most widespread native millipede in
+Madagascar
+. The populations from Nosy Be and Fort Dauphin, from which the gonopods are currently unknown, should be carefully checked in the future to clarify their taxonomic status. Nosy Be is the type locality of another two
+Dalodesmidae
+,
+
+D. odontopezus
+
+and
+
+Eutubercularium voeltzkowi
+
+.
+
+
+
+
+Brief description.
+
+
+(After
+Cook 1896
+and
+Jeekel 1965
+.) Body of
+♂
+syntypes
+~
+21 mm
+long and
+2.8 mm
+wide. Colouration uniformly dark brown. Paraterga largely subhorizontal, lying below dorsum; tips sharpened caudally, but not projecting past posterior margin; dorsal surface between paraterga mostly tuberculate, tuberculations being rounded to subconical (Fig.
+11 A
+).
+
+
+Gonopods (Fig.
+11 C, D, G, H
+) showing nearly bare femorites (fe), both only basally with 2 + 2 lateral setae, coupled with rather simple acropodite: an untraceable, apparently rudimentary solenomere lying between both branches of a distinct solenophore: the highest, suberect, at midlength unequally bifid mesal branch (mb) and a much shorter, strongly folded and lamelliform lateral branch (lb).
+
+
+Based on a restudy of the gonopods of the type series of
+
+D. tectus
+
+, no meaningful differences to the gonopodal structure of
+
+D. hova
+
+as illustrated by
+de Saussure and Zehntner (1897)
+and redescribed by
+Hoffman (1974)
+could be found (Fig.
+12 A – H
+). The potential type locality of
+
+D. tectus

+(central
+Madagascar
+) fits very well to the type locality of

+de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897
+
+
+, by monotypy. See
+
+Mesibov et al. (2018)
+
+for the convoluted taxonomic history of this generic name.
+
+
+
+
+
+Diagnosis.
+
+
+Body pale reddish, subcylindrical, much shorter than those of
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+and
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+, only ca
+10 mm
+long, 1.0–
+1.05 mm
+wide. Paraterga very narrow, declivous and subrectangular, unlike in
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+and
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+where the paraterga are conspicuous and greatly expanded.
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+differs from both
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+and
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+in the presence of circular cones / tuberculations (vs large, oval to polygonal, often irregular, piligerous tuberculations or areations), and in the 2 + 2 setae on the paraprocts borne on distinct knobs (not being borne on distinct knobs in
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+and
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+).
+
+
+
+
+Remark.
+
+
+Hoffman (1980)
+tentatively listed this genus in the family
+Vaalogonopodidae
+,
+vs
+Dalodesmidae
+in recent species lists (
+Enghoff 2003
+;
+Wesener and Enghoff 2022
+), a placement we can confirm with the first description of the male.

+
+Diagnosis.
+
+
+Body medium-sized,
+17–28 mm
+long and
+3.7–5.3 mm
+wide. Midbody metaterga with 4–6 transverse, often rather irregular rows of piligerous tuberculations or obliterated areations between always strongly developed and laterally similarly piligerous crenulate / tuberculate paraterga, these being sub-horizontal to upturned. Gonopods less elaborate and more simple than in the other genera, both coxites and densely setose prefemorites equally short and fused medially; femorites (fe) mostly slender, subcylindrical, at most only insignificantly flattened sagittally, contiguous medially and fused in basal 1 / 3, with a sternal rudiment visible ventrally at the very base, bare to sometimes sparsely setose until acropodite, the latter (= acropodite) basically tripartite, a mostly distinct, occasionally branching and only rarely missing solenomere branch (sl) lying between and typically flanked by two or three branches of a rather simple to elaborate solenophore: one medial (mb), this only rarely subdivided into an apical (ab) and a subapical branch (sb), and the other lateral (lb).
+
+
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+differs from
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+in the much larger size (>
+20 mm
+, vs ~
+10 mm
+), the strongly developed, apically pointed paratergites (
+vs
+short and rectangular in
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+), the presence of large, oval to polygonal, often irregular, piligerous tuberculations or areations (vs circular cones / tuberculations in
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+), and the 2 + 2 setae on the paraprocts not being borne on distinct knobs (vs borne on distinct knobs in
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+).
+
+
+In gonopodal structure, the genus
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+differs from both
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+and
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+in the femorites being long and slender,> 2 × as long as acropodites, subcylindrical, diverging in distal 2 / 3 to 1 / 2, bare to only poorly setose ventrally and / or laterally (vs femorites stout, only ~ 2 × as long as acropodites, clearly flattened dorsoventrally, contiguous all along or nearly so, and densely setose on both ventral and lateral sides).

+Diagnosis.
+
+
+26 mm
+long,
+4.5 mm
+wide, habitus identical to that of
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+, with five rows of transverse, often rather irregular rows of piligerous tuberculations or obliterated areations between always strongly developed and laterally similarly piligerous and crenulate / tuberculate paraterga.
+
+
+The basic differences from
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+lie only in gonopodal conformation: femorites densely setose all over ventral and lateral sides, relatively stout, only ~ 2 × as long as acropodites and, much like in
+
+Phymatodesmus
+
+, clearly flattened dorsoventrally (vs less strongly setose to nearly bare, much longer, slender and subcylindrical); solenomere (sl) lateral, long, flagelliform, and non-sigmoid (vs medial, short, usually simple and rather rod- or lobe-shaped, often sigmoid), lateral branch (lb) remarkably tripartite and complex (vs lb unipartite and usually simple to rather simple).
+
+
+
+
+Remarks.
+
+
+Brölemann (1916)
+described
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+based on gonopod differences derived only from the drawings of the species published by
+de Saussure and Zehntner (1901
+: figs 8–10) for
+
+Polydesmus sakalava
+
+(now
+
+Dalodesmus voeltzkowi
+Mesibov, Wesener & Hollier, 2018
+
+). Apparently, the type specimens can no longer be located.
+Jeekel (1965)
+hesitantly decided to synonymise
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+with
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+, as the observed differences could be a simple drawing error.
+Hoffman (1980)
+listed
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+again as a valid genus, but without explanation, a move not followed in recent species lists (
+Enghoff 2003
+;
+Wesener and Enghoff 2022
+). Here, we resurrect
+
+Eutubercularium
+
+from synonymy with
+
+Dalodesmus
+
+following
+Hoffman (1980)
+.
