Bennelongia cygnus – lineage

Remarks

This lineage so far consists of two species, here described as new: B. cygnus sp. nov. and B. frumenta sp. nov. They are characterized by a relatively small carapace (L = 1.6 mm) with triangular shape in lateral view, a RV with a pointed lapel and by a hemipenis of the B. australis- type, i.e. with ms with oblique, nearly straight distal margin and a boot-shaped LS, a sickle shape Lpp and a Rpp with elongated second segment.
