Description

The type specimen of Ceratosoma pustulosum is in Muséum Nationale d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris and was studied by Pruvot-Fol.[4] It is similar to Ceratosoma brevicaudatum but is unlikely to be the same species as this is a warm temperate species. It is currently not identifiable with any records since 1804.[3]
