PARAMICROMERYS MADAGASCARIENSIS
(
SIMON, 1893
)
(
FIGS 131, 132
)
Micromerys madagascariensis
Simon, 1893: 472–474
, fig. 462.
Timm, 1976: 72
, figs 13, 14.
Paramicromerys madagascariensis
:
Millot, 1946: 146– 147
, fig. 21(a)–(d).
Type
.
Male
holotype
from unspecified locality in
Madagascar
; collector and collection date unknown, in
MNHN
(9277; AR 10501)
.
Diagnosis
. Very closely related to
P. betsileo
, with almost identical palps (compare
Figs 131 and 135
), but with male cheliceral apophyses much closer together (compare
Figs 132 and 133
).
Male (
holotype
).
Total length ~1.6 (deformed), carapace width ~0.7. Femur 1: 5.6, other segments and legs missing. Habitus and prosoma shape apparently as in
P. betsileo
(cf.
Figs 102 and 103
). Carapace ochre with black margin; sternum ochre; opisthosoma grey with dark spots dorsally. Ocular area deformed. Chelicerae as in
Fig. 132
, without modified hairs on tips of apophyses; distance between tips of apophyses 55 Mm. Palps as in
Fig. 131
, differing from
P. betsileo
primarily by the shapes of the trochanter apophyses (arrows in
Fig. 131
).
Female
. Unknown.
Distribution
. Unknown.
