Natural history collections help resurrecting Glomeris herzogowinensis Verhoeff, 1898 and further clarify the nomenclature of two Onychoglomeris subspecies of Attems (Diplopoda, Glomerida, Glomeridae)

Le résumé fourni par la source

Based on the study of freshly-collected material and old museum specimens, we have solved a decades-old riddle surrounding the nameOnychoglomeris herzogowinensis(Verhoeff, 1898). The southern Dinaric coastal speciesGlomeris herzogowinensisVerhoeff, 1898 is revived, whileOnychoglomeris herzogowinensis australisAttems, 1935 andO. h. mediaAttems, 1935, are treated here as full species after returning the specific name toGlomerisLatreille, 1902,O. australisAttems, 1935,stat. nov.andO. mediaAttems, 1935,stat. nov.Besides the designation of lectotypes, we provide comprehensive illustrations, diagnoses, detailed remarks and a distribution map for all three species. In addition, DNA barcoding provided COI sequences forGlomeris herzogowinensisandOnychoglomeris australisstat. nov., along with the first barcoding data of one additional species ofOnychoglomerisVerhoeff, 1906,O. ferraniensisVerhoeff, 1909 and twoGlomerisspecies, the BalkanG. balcanicaVerhoeff, 1906 and the trans-AdriaticG. pulchraKoch, 1847. The significance of historical specimens from natural history museums is briefly discussed.
