Neocalchas gruberi (Fet, Soleglad et Kovařík, 2009) , comb. nov. [= Calchas gruberi Fet, Soleglad et Kovařík, 2009 ], designated here. Composition. This genus contains one species, N. gruberi . Etymology . The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek prefix νεο- (neo-), from νέος (neos, “new, young”) and Calchas , indicating a new genus of Calchinae based on its presumed derived position within the subfamily. Diagnosis. Hemispermatophore lamina edges taper distally, forming a pointed terminus; internal nodule widely rounded to obsolete; internal protuberance weak and reduced in size; two sclerotized trunk bolsters present. Pedipalp chelal movable finger with eight median denticle ( MD ) rows and seven inner denticles ( ID ). Telson subaculear setal pair located on the vesicle/aculeus juncture; vesicle rounded and aculeus elongated, ratio of telson length to vesicle length 1.59–1.74 (1.671) in males and 1.54–1.81 (1.665) in females. Pectinal tooth count mean 8.41 for males and 7.41 for females. Discussion. The generic differences between Neocalchas and Calchas were discussed above; see Fet et al. (2009: 57–67) for a detailed description of N. gruberi . Note that, with this description, fauna of Turkey gains a new genus Neocalchas ; however, fauna of Greece gains Neocalchas but loses Calchas .
