Etymology. The specific epithet honors the invertebrate physiologist Geoffrey Fowler Dilly.
Diagnosis. Medium-sized (ca. 3.6 mm) Cyphophthalmi presenting a character combination diagnostic for Miopsalis: distinct eyes, anal gland pore and Rambla’s organ present, distinct sternum, extensive sculpturing on second cheliceral article, nearly parallel ventral opisthosomal sulci, nearly straight posterior margin of gonostome, and coxae II and IV each with distinct meeting points in males. Male also with distinct solea on tarsus I; presence of digiti of the gonopore complex; and arrangement of five ventral microtrichia of spermatopositor, with one proximal microtrichium on ventral midline and four subdistal microtrichia arranged in an arc. Distinguished from congeners by unique combination of medium size, and presence of anal gland pore, eyes, Rambla’s organ, prominent second ventral cheliceral process, and claw-like chelicerae. For example, M. mulu ( Shear, 1993) and M. sabah ( Shear, 1993) are also medium-sized and have anal gland pores, but they have attenuate chelicerae and no Rambla’s organ; M. gryllospeca ( Shear, 1993) has a small Rambla’s organ, claw-like chelicerae, and a large second ventral cheliceral process, but lacks an anal gland pore and is considerably larger (> 5 mm) (see table 1 and figure 19 in Clouse 2012 for further comparison).
Description. Length of holotype (female paratype in parentheses) 3.64 (3.59); maximum body width 1.93 (1.84) at third opisthosomal segment; length/width ratio 1.88 (1.95). Distance between ozopores, 1.67 (1.61) ( Fig. 1)
Body oval, dark orange-coloured to reddish brown (in alcohol) depending on incidence of light ( Fig. 1). Body almost entirely with a dense tuberculate-microgranulate surface microstructure. Distinct eye lenses anterior to Type I ozophores ( Juberthie 1970; see also Giribet 2003) ( Fig. 1C, F). Mid-dorsal, longitudinal opisthosomal sulcus absent (male; Fig. 1A) or poorly defined (female; Fig. 1D). Posterior end of body evenly rounded. Coxae of leg II fused to coxae of legs III and IV ( Fig. 2A, 2B). Sternum present ( Fig. 2A, 2B). Proximal end of coxae I or III of males not meeting along the midline (in females, only coxae II meeting in midline; Fig. 2A, B). Male gonostome semicircular to trapezoidal, with weakly concave posterior edge, without cuticular projections ( Fig. 2A). Spiracles C-shaped ( Fig. 2A, B). Sternal opisthosomal glands absent. Sternites 8 and 9 and tergite IX free. Tergite IX of male distinctly bilobed. Anal plate of male with indistinct, raised, medial, longitudinal area lacking granulation, with shallow medial groove posteriorly ( Fig. 2C, D). Anal gland pore present in male ( Fig. 2C).
Chelicerae ( Fig. 3A) not of the protruding type ( Giribet 2003) and claw-like (Clouse 2012), distal article/median article ratio 0.32 (0.31); widest part of median cheliceral article near the base and with ornamentation concentrated proximally; proximal article with dorsal crest and two distinct ventral processes. Palpal trochanter without ventral process ( Fig. 3B). Legs with all metatarsi and tarsi ornamented; claws of all legs smooth ( Fig. 3 C–K). Tarsus I with a distinct solea ( Fig. 3D, J). Rambla’s organ of male small, oval in shape, in distal portion of tarsus IV adjacent to tarsal claw ( Fig. 3I). Adenostyle conspicuous, subtriangular, robust, fringing at the tip; located in proximal half of tarsus ( Fig. 3I). Appendage measurements provided in Tables 1–2.
Spermatopositor ( Fig. 4), examined in three male paratypes, in dorsal view with eight long microtrichia on each side, their bases separated at midline. Dorsal microtrichia without serration ( Fig. 4A). Ventral side with small denticles and five microtrichia, i.e. one proximal microtrichium on the ventral midline and four subdistal microtrichia arranged in an arc ( Fig. 4B). Gonopore complex with a pair of long and gracile digiti ( Fig. 4C).
Variation. Range of measurements of males (n=4) and females (n=6, in parentheses): Body length 3.48–3.79 (3.59–3.85), maximum width 1.82–1.96 (1.84–1.94).
Distribution. Known only from the two localities provided.
