Elaverimartus pocockiPetrunkevitch 1953从Ellismuir， Baillieston （Glasgow）的Kiltongue煤层（Langsettian）上方发现，是苏格兰石炭纪煤系记录的唯一已灭绝的Trigonotarbida纲的例子。该化石来自罗伯特·邓洛普的收藏，虽然保存得不太好，但苏格兰国家博物馆的历史文献包括本·皮奇准备的标本的初步图纸，以及一份未发表的手稿，“古Scoticum”，暗示一个古老的苏格兰收割机（蛛形纲，Opiliones）。不幸的是，在格拉斯哥地质学会会刊的一次会议报告中提到了这个手稿的名字。为了完整起见，这里澄清了它作为一种被广泛忽视的女性裸体的地位。将elaverimartuspetrunkevitch 1953作为aphantomartuspocock 1911的初级同义词处理的建议将会提供支持。已同义种的小波科属的同音种。鉴于完整型保存不足，我们倾向于治疗。Pocockias的anomen dubiumand因此规避了更换名称的需要。
Elaverimartus pocockiPetrunkevitch 1953 from above the Kiltongue Coal Seam (Langsettian) of Ellismuir, Baillieston (Glasgow) is the only example of the extinct arachnid order Trigonotarbida recorded from the Carboniferous Coal Measures of Scotland. The fossil is from the Robert Dunlop collection and, although not so well preserved, historical documentation in the National Museums Scotland includes a preliminary drawing of the specimen prepared by Ben Peach, together with an unpublished manuscript name, ‘Palaeophalangium Scoticum’, implying an ancient Scottish harvestman (Arachnida, Opiliones). A mention in a published meetings report of theTransactions of the Geological Society of Glasgowunfortunately made this manuscript name available. Its status as a widely overlookednomen nudumis clarified here for completeness. A proposal to treatElaverimartusPetrunkevitch 1953 as a junior synonym ofAphantomartusPocock 1911 would renderE. pocockia junior homonym of an already synonymized species. Given the inadequate preservation of the holotype, we prefer to treatE. pocockias anomen dubiumand thus circumvent the need to replace the name.
