Description.
Female. ( Figs. 31–38 View FIGURES 31 - 36 View FIGURES 37 - 38 ). Dimensions. Idiosoma : length 585; width 405 (fairly distended); length hypognathum 312; width hypognathum 119; length palp 323; length chelicera 262; length gnathosoma 470; length legs: I 443, II 385, III 447–450, IV 497–501; length sensillae vi approximately 270, sce 250; ovum 146 x 216.
Dorsum ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ). The reticulate propodosomal shield ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 31 - 36 a) carries four pairs of setal structures: the two pairs of sensillae vi and sce ( Figs 31 View FIGURES 31 - 36 b & c) and the st-setae ve and sci. Distance sci-sci smaller than sci-sce. Setae ve very close to sce; the length of the latter are less than half the distance between them. Two small lateral hysterosomal “shields”. Except for setae f2 the usual pairs of hysterosomal setae are present; setae h1 longest, followed by f1. Other setae all about equal length.
Venter ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ). The venter of this specimen is torn. The venter is normal for the genus. The genito-anal region ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ) carries 4 pairs of g- setae on the genital valves with g3 laterad to line g1 - g2 - g4, one pair of anal setae on anal valves, one pair of para-anal setae and 1 pair of cupules ih on the integument between the two regions. A paragenital seta occurs laterad to each genital valve.
Gnathosoma ( Figs. 33–35 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ). The gnathosomal components are very much extended as compared to those of Dactyloscirus condylus Den Heyer, 1979 .
Hypognathum ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ). Ratio length: width of the hypognathum is 2.9:1.
Palp ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ). The palp chaetotaxy is: trochanter 0, basi- and telofemur 1 dorsal spine-like seta each, telofemur also with a median small apophysis, genu with a small median apophysis, 2 sts and a distal spine, tibiotarsus with 1 ventromedian seta, 1 tubercle, 2 small setae, 1 terminal solenidion and a terminal claw.
Chelicerae ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 31 - 36 ). This structure is nearly needle-like. Proximodorsal region of segment II with papillae in reticulate pattern. Segment I with random papillae.
Legs ( Figs. 36–38 View FIGURES 31 - 36 View FIGURES 37 - 38 ) Tibiae I nearly twice the length of genua I. Leg setae vary from thin sts to stout macrosetae. Leg chaetotaxy: coxae I– IV 3 sts, 1 peg – 2 – 3 – 2 sts; trochanters I–IV 1 – 1 – 2 – 1 sts; basifemora I–IV 5 – 5 – 3 – 2; telofemora I–IV 5 – 5 – 4 – 4; genua I–IV 2 asl (very close but not duplex), 1 asl, {asl, 1 sts} 4 sts – 2 asl, 5 stout sts – 1asl, 1 stout ms, 4 stout sts – 2 asl, 5 sts (almost all stout); tibiae I – IV {1 asl, 1 sts}, 1asl, 4 sts – 1 bsl, 5 sts – 1 bsl, 5 sts (all stout) – 1T, 4 sts(3 of these stout); tarsi I – IV 3 asl, {1 bsl, 1 sts, 1fmls}, 1 dtsl, 2 tsl, 18 sts (of which 3 are spinose and situated ventrally on the anteromedian aspect) – 1 bsl, 1 dtsl, 1 tsl, 21 sts – 1 tsl, 21 sts – 20 sts.
Remarks. This species closely resembles Dactyloscirus smileyi Swift, 1996 with relation to size and other aspects. Differences, however, are given in Table 3 View TABLE 3 .
