The
iuloideum
group
Diagnosis
Species of
Eviulisoma
in which sternum 6 is deeply excavated with unlobed margins, the gonopod acropodite has a separate basal ʻfemoriteʼ part, there is no intermediate acropodital process and the solenophore is a large, unrolled sheet without apical lobes.
Included species:
E. iuloideum
(
Verhoeff, 1941
)
E. articulatum
sp. nov.
This group corresponds to the genus
Himatiopus
Verhoeff, 1941
. The description of
E. iuloideum
by
Verhoeff (1941)
is quite good, and the similarity with
E. articulatum
sp. nov.
is obvious. An examination of the type material of
Himatiopus iuloideus
confirmed the similarity but also confirmed that the two species are indeed different.
E. lanceolatum
Attems, 1953
(Congo)
also seems to have an articulated acropodite, but the solenophore is quite different (
Jeekel 2003
); hence,
E. laceolatum
is not regarded as a member of the
iuloideum
group.
