Differential diagnosis.
The new species belongs to the genus
Prelorryia
by lacking setae on genua II, III and IV, and lacking solenidia (
ȹ
) on tibia I. This genus was previously monospecific, with only
Prelorryia indonesiensis
(
Baker
, 1968
)
.
Prelorryia labrusca
sp. nov.
is distinguished from
P. indonesiensis
by having a completely striate body, prodorsum lacking seta
ro,
setae
h2
smooth and slender, tibia I with four setae, and the solenidion of tarsus I longer than half the width of the tarsus.
Etymology
