Copidognathus globulosus Makarova, 1974

( Figs. 15–16 )

Type series.ɹHolotype: ˁ NSMT-Ac 14701 (8103).

Condition.ɹThe specimen is mounted on a square cover slip that is partly broken. Each body part is visible, and chaetotaxies of idiosoma, gnathosoma, palps, and legs are almost recognizable. Holotype ˁ: Idiosoma length 500, width 410; gnathosoma length 120, width 100.

Remarks.ɹThe specimen number given on the glass slide (8103) does not match that in the original description (ˁ: 1/8023) by Makarova (1974). However, the collecting locality shown on the slide is consistent with that given by Makarova (1974). Further, the general features of this type specimen on the slide accord well with those in Fig. 3 in the original description. Therefore, it is certain that this specimen is the type of Copidognathus globulosus . The species name on the glass slide is given as Halacarus globulosus . However, Makarova (1974) described this species under the name of Copidognathus globulosus based on a specimen from Iturup Island.
