Hypothesized placement.
Nannaria
"Repass"
specimens are hypothesized to be closely related to
Nannaria botrydium
sp. nov. based on close geographic proximity and the following combination of gonopodal characters: Acropodite thin, gently curving medially. Acropodite tip with small lateral flange (Fig.
123B
, red arrow). Prefemoral process bending medially at midpoint.
Nannaria
"Repass"
differs from
N. botrydium
sp. nov. based on the following gonopodal characters: Acropodite tip bending dorsally with small, triangular medial flange (Fig.
123B
, red triangle), not bending caudally as in
N. botrydium
sp. nov. Prefemoral process bending medially at midpoint to a lesser degree than as in
N. botrydium
sp. nov.
