Pauropus huxleyi Lubbock, 1867
ID Difficulty
Identification
This is the first pauropod to be discovered and was described in 1867 by Sir John Lubbock.
It belongs to family Pauropodidae – a group of more elongated slender species (in contrast to the relatively short and squat Eurypauropoidae).
Distribution and Habitat
In prep.
As with all pauropods this is a small and very elusive species, and consequently extremely under-recorded.
