Diagnosis
Males of
Pseudonemesia
differ from those of
Micromygale, Microstigmata
Strand, 1932,
Ministigmata, Xenonemesia
and
Envia
by the oval palpal bulb and short, blunt embolus, curved to ventral side (
Figures 1
(a
–
e), 2(a,b), 11(a);
Raven and Platnick 1981
, figs 45, 47, 48;
Goloboff 1993
, fig. 3); and elevated pars thoracica (
Raven and Platnick 1981, fig. 51
). Females can be distinguished from the
Spelocteniza
and above-mentioned genera (except from
Microstigmata
) by the wide spermathecal bases and no twisted ducts (
Figure 1
(f)). It can be distinguished from
Microstigmata
by the absence of labial cuspules (
Figure 6
(d)); presence of corrugated trichobothrial bases (
Figure 5
(c,d); and no encrusting cuticule with dirt or debris (
Figure 6
(a
–
f)). In addition,
Pseudonemesia
resembles
Envia
by the elongated cymbium lacking an anterior notch (
Figure 2
(c
–
e);
Goloboff 1993
, fig. 3); palpal bulb resting in a cymbial cavity (
Figure 1
(a,e);
Goloboff 1993
,
Figure 3
); serrula with widely separated teeth and greatly flattened (
Figure 8
(c)); modified comb-shaped setae on prolateral border of the maxilla (
Figure 8
(b, d)); presence of flattened scaly cuticle with highest distal ends, without digitiform pustules (
Figure 4
(c,d); and tarsal organ about two-fifths away from the anterior edge (
Figure 4
(a,c,d)); all also here considered as diagnostic features for the Pseudonemesiini. It can be distinguished from
Envia
by lacking apical paraembolic apophysis on the palpal bulb (
Figures 1
(a
–
e), 2(a,b), 11(a)); presence of spines on cymbium (
Figures 1
a,e, 2(c
–
f);
Raven and Platnick 1981
, figs 45, 48); tarsal organ rounded in lateral view and twice as elevated (
Figure 5
(b)); and elevated spermathecal bases (
Figure 1
(f);
Raven and Platnick 1981
, fig. 54).
