Material examined
VENEZUELA • 10 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀ (3 ♂♂ and 3 ♀♀ mounted on slides, 1 ♂ and 1 ♀ mounted for SEM study, remaining specimens preserved in 70% alcohol); Monagas State, Uverito Forest ; 8°39′ N, 62°37′ W; 15 Aug. 1996; C. Bach leg.; pitfall traps in a plantation of Pinus caribea formerly occupied by a savanna; UCO Z2561 , Z2565 GoogleMaps .
Remarks
Most of the descriptive details of this species were provided by Wygodzinsky (1959a) as Stylifera impudica , except for some of the new characters described here for the diagnosis of the new genus which include the clypeal tufts, trichobothrial areas, coxal combs of macrochaetae, pattern and distribution of scales on appendages, and pretarsal microtrichia. Dorsal scales are illustrated in Fig. 19A–B View Fig and scales of different appendages in Fig. 19C–F View Fig . The scales of the coxae are rounded, but not orbicular (i.e., with the basal part not surrounding the insertion), with a finely denticulate apical margin. Femoral scales are similar in shape to coxal scales, but slightly smaller and apically narrower. Tibial scales are narrower and smaller than those of the femora. Scales covering styli are even smaller, with their apical margin more denticulate. Coxal combs have 3–6 macrochaetae, some of them as long as half the width of the coxa. Details of abdominal chaetotaxy are presented in Table 1 View Table 1 , although most of them do not represent an increase of the variability given by Wygodzinsky.
