Remark.
Pteronemobius sanaco
is mostly characterized by its coloration pattern, TIII spurs, and size. The photos of male genitalia given by
Otte & Perez-Gelabert (2009)
, although not of optimal quality, clearly show the distinctive characters of
Hygronemobius
as defined by
Desutter-Grandcolas (1993)
, namely the hemispherical shape of ectophallic fold and the divergent and ventrally oriented membranous distal lophi of pseudepiphallus (
Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009, Fig. 83G
). These traits unambiguously reveal that
P. s a na c o
belongs to
Hygronemobius
. We consequently propose this recombination.
