Tydeus martae
sp. nov.
resembles
Tydeus reticoxus
Ueckermann, 1988
from
South Africa
(collected from
Protasparagus laricinus
, see Smith-Meyer & Ueckermann [1988]). Both species have the same
type
of the dorsal ornamentation, the dorsal body setae similar in shape and much shorter than the bothridia, the cheliceral stilettos distinctly shorter than the palpal tarsus, as well as the longitudinal striae between metasternal setae on venter. Moreover, both species have the subcuticular reticulations on the coxae, trochanters and basal part of femora (according to original description and figures, this reticulation is present only on coxae in
T. reticoxus
). The differences between these two species are listed in
Table 2
