Melbourne : CSIRO Publishing, Australia xiv 641 pp. [419] (this species was transferred to his new genus Planopilumnus, by Balss, 1933, however the type of Planopilumnus, P. spongiosus (Nobili, 1905), is actually not a pilumnid (P.K.L. Ng, pers. comm.), and the genus and its subfamily, the Planopilumninae, are rightfully placed in the family Goneplacidae. Pilumnus vermiculatus A. Milne Edwards, is retained in Pilumnus for convenience until a new genus is established (P.K.L. Ng, in prep.))
