New familial assignment for two harvestmen species of the infraorder Grassatores (Arachnida: Opiliones: Laniatores) Author Pérez-González, Abel text Zootaxa 2011 2757 24 28 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.276746 efd4ee33-9178-415f-bfba-53b52b52c92c 1175-5326 276746 Waigeucola palpalis Roewer, 1949 ( Figs 2 a–e) Waigeucola palpalis Roewer, 1949 : 59 , figs 115 a–h. [ Phalangodidae : Samoinae] Types : SMF 9908683 (ex RII/8683/6), one male holotype and one male paratype (examined). Type locality: Indonesia : Waigeo Island (“ Insel Waigeu” in the original label). Justification of the new familial assignment: Waigeucola Roewer, 1949 , is a monotypic genus originally described in Phalangodidae : Samoinae ( Roewer 1949 ). The type species is Waigeucola palpalis by original designation. This species is hereby considered as a member of Podoctidae because it possesses the male genitalia typical of the family ( Figs 1 c–e) with the ventral plate deeply cleft and a well developed follis . Also, the tubercular bridge in the carapace (also called “ocular bridge” in Kury & Machado 2009 ) exhibited by this species ( Fig. 1 a–b) is considered a possible synapomorphy of Podoctidae (Kury 2007) . No evidence was found for placing this species in another existing podoctid genus, therefore it is transferred to this family with its original valid genus.
