Original description


Synonyms
Lipura tuberculata Moniez, 1891
Aphorura tuberculata (Moniez, 1891)
Onychiurus tuberculatus (Moniez, 1891)

Kalaphorura tuberculatus (Moniez, 1891)

This species has been synonymized with Kalaphorura burmeisteri in the past. Species boundaries in Kalaphorura are insufficiently known and the bristle patterns used for species identification may be variable within a species as well, but this has not been investigated in detail. Thus, future changes of Kalaphorura taxonomy are likely. Until further study, all previously described taxa are here recognized as separate species.

Identification

Distribution
Scattered records across the palaearctic region, including Germany. However, the distribution of this species is unclear due to the problematic taxonomy of Kalaphorura. Records of "tuberculata" may refer to other species, while reports of other species may in fact refer to Kalaphorura tuberculata.
