Taiyutyla napa Shear 1971
Description
Taiyutyla napa Shear, 1971
Fig. 22
Taiyutyla napa Shear 1971: 87. Type locality: California, Napa Co., Mt. St. Helena, male holotype and two female paratypes (AMNH).
New record: California, Napa Co., Mt. St. Helena, estimated coordinates taken from the Mt. St. Helena Trail Head along SR-29, elev. 715 m., 38.6523°N, - 122.5998°W, 13 March 1962, J. S. Buckett, M. E. Irwin, m f (EMEC).
Notes: These specimens are topotypical. The scanning electron micrograph (Fig. 22) shows many details not seen using optical microscopes and not reported in the original description (Shear 1971). Figure 22 illustrates, in posterior view, the anterior (ag) and posterior (pg) gonopods. The ventral part of the T-shaped branch (T) of the posterior gonopod coxite is evidently absent, so the coxite somewhat resembles those of species of Bifurcatella, n. gen., but the anterior gonopod does not. For the time being, this species is better accommodated in Taiyutyla. Note the secretion (sec) emerging from a pore in the anterior gonopod.
