Holotype female. AUSTRALIA : Western Australia : Middle Robe , Robe Valley , ca. 18 km ESE. of Pannawonica , 22°23’18”S , 116°15’11”E , 13–16 October 2008 , troglofauna trap , J. Alexander (Biota Environmental Sciences, CWRC281 P4 T2–1 ) ( WAM T138570 ) (DNA: 12S, COI , 18S, 28S, ITS2 ). Diagnosis. Males are unknown. Females of Draculoides minae differ from all other known Draculoides in their distinctive spermathecae, which have roughly rectangular, non-plicate lobes. Female flagellum is unknown. Draculoides minae can be diagnosed from all other Draculoides species that were sequenced at COI, 12S and ITS2 by the 50bp mini-barcodes shown in Figures 3 , 5 , and 7. Description (adult female). Colour . Yellow-brown; propeltidium and pedipalps somewhat darker. Cephalothorax . Propeltidium with 2+1 apical setae in a triangular formation on anterior process and 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 setae; eye spots absent. Mesopeltidia separated. Metapeltidium divided. Anterior sternum with 15 setae (including 2 sternapophysial setae); posterior sternum triangular with 8 setae. FIGURE 32. Draculoides minae sp. nov. , holotype female (WAM T138570): A. Body, dorsal; B. Body, ventral; C. Body, lateral. The scale bar shown in image A is 1 mm and also applies to B and C. FIGURE 33. Draculoides minae sp. nov. , holotype female (WAM T138570): A. Spermathecae, ventral. Scale bar: 0.1 mm. Chelicera . Fixed finger with 2 large teeth plus 6 smaller teeth between these; proximal and distal teeth without small lateral teeth; membranous area between fixed and movable fingers with 3 large, lanceolate, terminally pilose setae (G1); G2 and G3 composed of 3 setae; internal face of chelicera with 5 short whip-like setae (G4); brush at base of fixed finger composed of 5 setae (G5A), each densely pilose in distal half and G5B composed of 7 setae; G6 with one seta; G7 composed of 4 setae. Movable finger serrula composed of ca.15 long lamellae, blunt guard tooth present subdistally; 1 small accessory tooth present. Pedipalp . Without apophyses; trochanter with sharply produced ventro-distal extension, ventral margin with ca. 9 stout setae, without mesal spur; tarsus and tibia without spines; tarsal spur present; claw 0.64 × length of tarsus. Legs. Tarsus I with 6 segments; baso-dorsal margin of femur IV produced at about a 90° angle. Abdomen . Chaetotaxy of tergite I: 2 macrosetae + 4 microsetae (microsetae diagonal), tergite II: 2 macrosetae + 6 microsetae (microsetae in column), tergites III–IX: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2. Female genitalia . Two pairs of spermathecae with roughly rectangular, equal-sized lobes, each pair connected basally before connection with bursa ( Fig. 33A ); sparsely covered with small pores mainly in stalk; gonopod rectangular and slightly elongated. Flagellum . Unknown, collected without flagellum. Dimensions (mm) . Holotype female ( WAM T138570 ): Body length 4.88. Propeltidium 1.29/0.65. Chelicera 0.77. Flagellum missing. Pedipalp: trochanter 0.50, femur 0.58, patella 0.62, tibia 0.56, tarsus 0.21, claw 0.13, total excluding claw 2.46. Remarks. Draculoides minae is only known from a single bore in the Middle Robe area ( Fig. 1D ). Other names . WAM SCH083 ( Abrams et al ., 2019 ). Etymology. This species is named for the character Mina Harker in Bram Stoker’s book “Dracula.” Mina was temporarily made a vampire and instrumental in compiling the information to discover Dracula’s plans.
