Salfacarus legendrei
Van der
Hammen 1977
Diagnosis
: Opisthosoma in DN, TN, and adults with numerous papilliform setae on all segments (
Fig. 1
). Arrangement of idiosomal setae appears random, arrangement of lyrifissures may be idionymic. Tibiae II–IV with median dorsal setae, but without coronidia. Coronidia present on basitarsi II–IV.
Note:
The genus and type species appear to be described twice, once in the 1977 paper, and a second time in a brief description by Van der Hammen in a proceedings volume (Coineau & Van der
Hammen 1979
). The latter included contributions from a conference held in 1974. However, this volume did not appear in print until 1979, well after the 1977 paper.
