Matinta vicana
species-group (see
Ruiz
et al.
2019
)
Diagnosis of the species-group (updated).
The
vicana
species-group of
Matinta
is characterized by the combination of an intumescence on the stout embolus that fits into a concave prolateral portion of tegulum (
Fig. 32
), and a poorly developed RTA separate from a stout RvTA. Females have a pair of separate, sclerotized openings, short copulatory ducts and wide coupling pockets on posterior edge of epigyne (
Figs 56–59
), as in the
acutidens
species-group (further study is needed to enlighten the relationships between the two species-groups).
Note.
In the
vicana
species-group, the RTA is hooked, curved towards the cymbium (
Fig. 31
), as in other coreamycoid groups. The stout embolus bears a membranous area at the tip, on the prolateral side when compared to the opening of the spermophore (
Figs 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42
). Below, the species of this group are diagnosed by comparison within the species-group. The bifid RvTA (
Fig. 60
) proposed as a diagnostic character of the
vicana
species-group by
Ruiz
et al.
(2019)
is not present in all species of the group.
