TYPE SPECIES. — Brujita chapulapa View in CoL n. sp.
DIAGNOSIS. — Brujita n. gen. can be recognized from other Karosinae harvestmen by the following combination of characters: wide dorsal lobe at the frontal margin of prosoma, slightly elevated and rounded, no eyes; movable finger of chelicera with a basal blunt tooth; penis with MS A, B, C and D very long and with only a pair of small MS E in the middle flimsy lamina. Mictlana is the most similar genus to Brujita n. gen., but the new genus can be differentiated from it by the absence of two dorsal lobes on prosoma, Brujita n. gen. having only the anterior one; and by the penis morphology, which in Mictlana is spear-shaped, with two pairs of short MS C and A respectively, and four pairs of small MS E (Cruz-López & Francke 2015: fig. 55A-C), whereas the penis of Brujita n. gen. is spoon-shaped, with two and four pairs of long MS C and A + B respectively and with only a pair of small MS E.
ETYMOLOGY. — Brujita means ‘little witch’ in Spanish, feminine name taken from the song Brujita , written by the Spanish compositor and singer Nacho Vegas, gender feminine.
