Aden!’’, examined (see redescription of this material in + +Huber, 2000 + +) + +. + + + + +DIAGNOSIS: This species is easily distinguished from the two known congeners ( + +N. minuta +(Berland) + +and + +N. namibiae +Huber + +) by the short, pointed procursus and the shapes of the bulbal projections, the shape of the male cheliceral apophyses, and the shape of the epigynum (fig. 29). + + + + +MALE (Ja’ar): Total length 0.9; carapace width 0.45. Leg 1: 2.28 (0.61 + 0.16 + 0.57 + 0.60 + 0.33), tibia 2: 0.47, tibia 3: 0.37, tibia 4: 0.67; tibia 1 l/d: 9.5. Habitus as in figs. 1 and 2 (see also drawings of the very similar + +N. minuta + +in +Huber, 2000 +: figs. 315– 318). Prosoma and legs ochre yellow; opisthosoma gray, with white mark above spinnerets and very indistinct darker spots dorsally. Carapace without thoracic furrow (cf. female: fig. 9). Eye pattern as in female (cf. fig. 9); diameter (in µm; ± 3 µm) AME 30, ALE 65, PME 50, PLE 60; distance PME­PME 50, PME­ALE 30. Chelicerae as in figures 5 and 6, with pair of apophyses frontally and very fine stridulatory ridges laterally (fig. 11); cheliceral laminae as in female (cf. fig. 10); cheliceral glands open through pores at slightly modified fields close to tips of fangs (figs. 12, 13). Sternum with small humps near bases of coxae 1. Palps as figures 3 and 4, with simple procursus that is pointed distally, and genital bulb with two processes: embolus dorsally and pointed (slightly hooked) apophysis ventrally; palpal tarsal organ capsulate with small orifice (fig. 15). Legs without spines, without curved hairs, with very few short vertical hairs; ‘‘normal’’ mechanoreceptive hairs of variable shape (e.g., figs. 24, 25); three trichobothria on tibiae, one on metatarsi; trichobothria with simple capsulate basis (fig. 27); retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at 58%; tarsus 1 apparently with 5 pseudosegments, barely visible as slightly darker rings in light microscope, but not discernible in SEM (figs. 25, 26). Three tarsal claws: superior claws with about 12 teeth, inferior claw with two teeth (fig. 28). Opisthosoma globular, with long hair dorsally. Three pairs of spinnerets, colulus possibly represented by modified area between ALS (fig. 19); ALS with one widened, one pointed, and several cylindrically shaped spigots (figs. 16, 17); PMS with one pair of cylindrically shaped spigots (fig. 18); PLS without spigots.

However, the striation is extremely fine and difficult to see in light microscopy, and scanning electron micrographs of chelicerae of the other two species have not been made. + + +The figures herein differ in some respects from + +Simon’s ( +1893 +) + +figures of the males and from +Huber’s (2000) +figures of the epigynum. Most notably, the long bulbal apophysis is strongly curved in Simon’s fig. 488, while it is almost straight in the new material. Also, the male cheliceral apophyses seem more slender in Simon’s fig. 489. In general, however, Simon’s illustrations are not reliable tools for species identification. The differences between the epigyna of the females from Ja’ar and the female syntypes are minimal and within the usual range of intraspecific variation. Therefore, we provisionally interpret the differences as resulting from either misdrawing or intraspecific variation, or from both. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/54/55/87/545587CBFFCAFFD9FE62FEBAEF79FB6E.xml b/data/54/55/87/545587CBFFCAFFD9FE62FEBAEF79FB6E.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..58c779ff274 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/54/55/87/545587CBFFCAFFD9FE62FEBAEF79FB6E.xml @@ -0,0 +1,179 @@ + + + +A new species of the genus Orsodacne Latreille, 1802 (Coleoptera: Orsodacnidae) from Iraqi Kurdistan + + + +Author + +Legalov, Andrei A. +Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, SB RAS, Frunze street 11, Novosibirsk, 630091, Russia & Altai State University, Lenina 61, Barnaul, 656049, Russia & Tomsk State University, Lenina Prospekt 36, 634050 Tomsk, Russia * Corresponding author.
