Cyphoderus cf. agnotus
Boerner
, 1906
Fig. 21B
Remarks
.
A single individual was collected in the entrance area of a lava tube. Our specimen has a bidentate mucro and the unguis lacks unpaired ungual distal teeth, distinguishing it from
Cyphoderus galapagoensis
Jacquemart 1976
while matching the description of
Cyphoderus agnotus
, sensu
Cassagnau (1963)
, albeit
Cassagnau's
(1963)
species description is relatively vague and lacks details about many important characters. Unfortunately, the material available is insufficient for a more complete redescription.
Distribution.
Santa Cruz Island,
Galapagos
, Ecuador; widespread throughout Neotropics.
