Diagnosis.
Males of
Draculoides catho
are unknown, and although the setal arrangement on the female flagellum places this species closest to
D. trinity
, it is currently not possible to differentiate the two species on morphology alone.
Draculoides catho
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.
See
Framenau
et al
. (2018)
.
Remarks
.
Draculoides catho
is known from three localities known as Catho Well,
Western Australia
(
Fig. 1C
). All specimens were collected from bore holes using troglofauna traps, and were collected from sites less than
3.5 km
apart.
