those parts of the material (the serial sections),
on which the original description was based, with
most other undissected material being para(lecto)types.
This turned out to be essentially crucial
in case of Dorymenia/Proneomenia antarctica
Thiele and Labidoherpia/Pruvotina spinosa
Thiele (for details see under the species). Lectotype
designation are here done in accordance
with the purpose of Article 74.7.3. of the current
issue of the ICZN in order to ensure the name’s
proper and consistent application.

Section A – Alphabetic list of Solenogastres type
material in the Malacozoological Collection of
the Berlin Museum of Natural History
No type material of the second major aplacophoran
group, the Caudofoveata, is held in the
ZMB (but see remark under Chaetoderma productum).
However, some non-type material of
Chaetodermomorpha is present which is listed
together with non-type material of the Solenogastres
in section B.

antarctica (Thiele, 1913a) – Dorymenia
[Proneomenia]
Proneomenia antarctica Thiele, 1913a: 57, pl. IV, fig. 11;
pl. VII, figs 10–13; pl. VIII, figs 1–3, 23, 31.
Ty p e l o c a l i t y : “Antarktis: Winterstation am
Gaussberg”; Antarctic: winter station at Mount
Gauss at 66 20S, 89 380E; DSE, Twist 385 m, July
31, 1902; leg. Vanhöffen.
Ty p e m a t e r i a l : ZMB Moll. 105.415a, part of holotype, serial
sections on 11 slides (all were originally marked as
“types”; n ¼ 6 are labelled a–f, anterior part; plus n ¼ 5 labelled
a–e, posterior part, with b–d additionally marked as
“Q 1925 g–i”);
ZMB Moll. 105.415b, 4 vials with one (1. vial) containing
presumably the remaining, non-sectioned part of the holotype.
1. vial: 06. XII. 1902, Twist 385 m, part of specimen, dark coloured
(holotype?);
2. vial: 12. X. 1902, Twist 385 m, part of specimen, light coloured
(could also be D. hoffmani);
3. vial: 31. XII. 1902, paratype, n ¼ 1 specimen;
4. vial: 12. X. 1602, n ¼ 1 specimen in ethanol, Thiele fec.
ZMB Moll. 105.415c, 4 Paraffin blocks; two blocks each
marked “grosse glatte Promeomenia antarct. 06. XII. 1902
Vanhöffen” and two blocks marked “Promeomenia? antarctica
10. XII. 1902”; paratypes? (but could also be D. hoffmani).
C o m m e n t s : Re-examination and determination
as Dorymenia antarctica (Thiele, 1913a)
by Salvini-Plawen (1978), who was then provided,
unfortunately, with only part of the holotype
serial sections by R. Kilias (n ¼ 3 slides,
with label “Q1925 g–i), thus his statement “von
der Original-Schnittserie liegen drei Objektträger
vor (Hinterende part.)” (Salvini-Plawen
1978: 247). We verify herewith that the holotype
is completely extant, mentioned by Thiele
originally as “untersuchtes Tier” in his publication,
with serial sections of the animal’s anterior
and posterior part. Re-examination by LvS-P of
the postradular sections reveals that Thiele’s description
is brief but correct. Note that some of
the above specimens might actually represent
D. hoffmani.
