The spine armament of the legs as an important means for the characterisation of the genera of Corydiinae and their relationships (Blattodea, Corydiidae) Author Bohn, Horst text Zootaxa 2024 2024-07-22 5482 1 1 79 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5482.1.1 journal article 300857 10.11646/zootaxa.5482.1.1 ac67f31a-36b5-4570-8356-c43cd0614252 1175-5334 13209117 AE4D9DE4-95E1-49CC-8104-1E7242523986 16. Genus Tivia Walker, 1869 Figs. 22B‒H Type species. Tivia simulatrix Walker, 1869 Male characters. Femur armament: all femora with an apical spine.—Tibia armament: [1–3.6.1][6–7.6(7).2–3][9– 11.6(7).4–5]. Fronttibia with 1 dorsal spine in T. termes (Karny, 1908) , 2 in T. brevipennis Princis, 1967 , 3 in most other species. Last ventral spine of mid- and/or hindtibia in some species very close to the apical whorl or even at the same level, thus generating whorls with 7 spines.—Left phallomere: On both bases of the L2 arch with a variously long, often hooklike process, at the left the process pda, at the right the transformed L1 sclerite; R1M forms a flat tongue-shaped lobe, Fig. 22B–H .—Supraanal plate: posterior border broadly rounded, sometimes mesally almost straight, but never with an excision.—Cercal tricholiths: absent. Material studied. T. simulatrix Walker, 1869 , type species of the genus Tivia . 1♂ , Holotype , Lake N’Gami (prep.: Bo 543). ( M. London ). 1♂ , S.W.Africa , Okahandja , 2.III.1956 , F.Gaerdes (prep.: Bo 516); 1♂ , S.Afr. , Cape Prov. , Upington , Orange River , 20.XI.50 (prep.: Bo 525). ( M. Lund ) T. morosa Shelford, 1908 . 1♂ , Syntype , D.S.W. Afr. , Rietmond , Gibson , 1903, C.Berger (prep.: Bo 549). ( M. Darmstadt ). 1♂ , S.W.Afr. , Tugab , Knomashochland , 26.–27. VI ,1952, leg. F.Gaerdes (prep.: Bo 552). ( M. Lund ). The comparison of the phallomeres shows that the synonymisation of T. morosa with T. simulatrix by Princis (1957) is not justified. T. fratercula Rehn, 1922. 1♂ , Satara , 27.III.1952 , Janse & Vari (prep.: Bo 511) (det. K.Princis , 1958). — T. oscillum Rehn , 1922, according to Princis (1963) a synonym of T. fratercula , Rehn. 1♂ , Holotype , Waterval , Ermelo District , Transvaal , 12.XI.1899 (prep.: Bo 544). ( M. Pretoria. ). For further species see Bohn & Harten 2006 ( T. appropinquata , T. distans , T. doriana ) and Bohn 2007 ( T. fusca ).
