From editor or global species database
Authority Keen (1971: 101, 103) attributed Placunanomia pernoides to Carpenter (1857) and considered it a synonym of Pododesmus foliatus, treating Pododesmus pernoides Gray, 1853) as a separate species. Carpenter, however, attributed the name to Gray. [details]
