Common Moleroman (Chelypus hirsti)Observer
tuliDescription
Dwarf Solifugid
strange little beastie scurrying around, very rapidly, in the sand between the grass clumps on a sparsely vegetated railway reserve; fast moving so had to be trapped in a cut off 2 lt coke bottle for photographing. Is it deformed? [answer NO, this is what Moleromans look like] if so, it certainly didn't hamper its mobility, and what about those armaments - the 2nd and 3rd legs have rows of pink vicious-looking spines ventrally and laterally while the palps end in a whole cluster of spines, like mace heads. I think in the 2nd photo there is a thin first leg just visible below the righthand palp

This is the first time I have come across this species, found at the border of the northernmost state in Malaysia. I believe this is the first record in Malaysia.

Male (with red face) doing his mating routine before the female. He raises and shakes his front legs. This went on for a long time before they jumped off the stick and into the grass.

Can't find the original description "Delamare-Deboutteville C., Massoud Z., 1962:
Description of Néo-Calédonien de Collembole suceur Caledonimeria mirabilis"
Bulletin de la Société Zoologique de France, Tome LXXXVII, no 4, 1962, p.330-337.
Don't know if the yellow variation is mirabilis.
