  • using the taxonomic database DELTA (Dallwitz et al., 1999). The terminology for setae follows Watling (1989) and Oshel and Steele (1988). Measurements of the specimens were made from the tip of the head to the base of the telson. This convention was chosen because of the variable position of the tip of the telson in different specimens. The computer program Image-Pro Plus (Media Cybernetics, 1997) was used to measure the specimens. Latitude and longitude were determined from a gazetteer. Localities, whose record indicates a wide region, were assigned to a middle point of that region.
