Pseudechiniscus suillus ( Ehrenberg, 1853) View in CoL

This species is the type species of the genus and at the same time the most problematic taxon in Pseudechiniscus . Its original description is short and incomplete, and the original drawing by Ehrenberg (1854) lacks taxonomically important details. As a result, none of the existing records of P. suillus can be considered valid. Until this species is redescribed, based on new material from the locus typicus, no specimens can be attributed to P. suillus with certainty.
