Species
Formerly, there were at least 12 described species in the genus Pseudopolydesmus.[1][2][3][4] Presently however, following a review published in 2019 which used scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet fluorescence to produce detailed images of specimens, only the following eight species are recognised:[5]
- Pseudopolydesmus caddo Chamberlin, 1949
- Pseudopolydesmus canadensis (Newport, 1844)
- Pseudopolydesmus collinus Hoffman, 1974
- Pseudopolydesmus erasus (Loomis, 1943)
- Pseudopolydesmus minor (Bollman, 1888)
- Pseudopolydesmus paludicolus Hoffman, 1950
- Pseudopolydesmus pinetorum (Bollman, 1888)
- Pseudopolydesmus serratus (Say, 1821)
