The Zoosphaerium piligerum View in CoL species-group

Members of this group share uniquely-shaped posterior telopods, where the width of the elongated movable finger slightly increases towards the tip. Members of this species-group seem to be restricted to the montane rainforest of the island (Fig. 77). One species was described previously, while two more species can be described here.
