Sphenodonema
spp.
Material.
3 dry specimens in poor condition (all labelled as
Pselliophora
). (a) Para, Brasil; leg Bertram, 1975. (b)
"Ceylon"
[Sri Lanka]; leg Nietner. (c) Zanzibar [Tanzania]; leg. Hildebrandt.
Remarks.
The collector of the Sri Lankan material was Johannes Nietner (1828-1874), a gardener in the botanical garden in Paradeniya. Note that the identification of
the
Sri Lankan specimen should be treated with caution (G. Edgecombe, pers. comm.) as this would represent a considerable range extension both for the genus and the family Pselliodid as a whole.
