Synonymy Blakemore (2013) presents Pheretima fornicata Gates under its own heading, but ultimately in remarks states he is synonymizing it to Amynthas carnosus. He writes: "differences of P. fornicata from A. pingi (=A. carnosus) as reinspected here from its type, are mainly a lack of genital markings which is irrelevant for A. carnosus, and the uncertainty about spermathecal papillae. However, the name fornicata is complicit with the redescription of A. carnosus based on its neotype by Blakemore (2012d) and on subsequent records: in particular it agrees with Kobayashi’s (1936) absent GMs form types I & I. Thus fornicata should probably be included in pingi as Chen suggested and both now seemingly merit inclusion in synonymy of the prior A. carnosus (Goto & Hatai, 1899) " [details]Type locality Tatsienlu, Szechwan China [details] |
