Family Callipappidae


Callipappus Guérin-Méneville

NOMENCLATURE:

Callipappus Guérin-Méneville, 1841: 129. Type species: Callipappus westwoodi Guérin-Méneville, by monotypy.

Callipapput; Perroud & Montrouzier, 1864: 247. Misspelling of genus name.

Gallipappus; Signoret, 1868: 519. Misspelling of genus name.

Gallipalpus; Signoret, 1869: 932. Misspelling of genus name.

Callipalpus; Lindinger, 1937: 181. Misspelling of genus name.

GENERAL REMARKS: Good definition and characters given by Signoret (1876a) and by Morrison (1928).

SYSTEMATICS: The adult females of this genus are remarkable for their immense size, attaining about 4 cm in length. In this genus, as in several unrelated genera, part of the abdomen of adult female is invaginated to form a pouch, called marsupium, that receives the eggs. In Callipappus the marsupial orifice is at the posterior apex of body, whereas in other genera the pouch opening is ventral (Morrison, 1928). Koteja (1996a: 68) and Hodgson & Foldi (2006) assigned this genus to the family Callipappidae.

KEYS: Morrison & Morrison 1923: 43 (female) [world].
