New species and interesting new records of spiders from Seychelles (Arachnida, Araneaea) Author Saaristo, Michael I. text Phelsuma 2002 10 1 32 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.824148 79d22dc4-916c-4f10-a085-4b796c63dd68 1026-5023 824148 Aridella n. gen. Type species: Aridella bowleri n. sp. Etymology: The generic name is derived from the name of the type locality of its ty p e species, considered feminine in gender. Diagnosis: According to its heavily sclerotized, pitch black palps with entirely fused cymbium and bulbus the genus resembles Brignolia Dumitresco & Georgesco, 1983 and Lisna Saaristo 2001 but the structure of bulbal elements of the male palp are more like in Opopaea s. str. which, on the other hand, has normally sclerotized male palps with strongly swollen palpal patella, Also the large, oval-shaped, shallow depression on sternum may be of generic value.
