Genus
Hyleoglomeris
This genus has recently been revised (
Golovatch et al. 2006
). Its members are characterized by the presence of frontomesal finger-shaped setiferous processes on the telopod prefemur and femur, of a distomesal seta on the tibia, while both the femur and tibia are also supplied with a large caudomesal outgrowth, this being particularly large and distally differentiated (membranous and sac-shaped) on the femur.
Three new species have been found in
Taiwan
in addition to the single previously known one.
