Description

Camptoscaphiella simoni Baehr, new species Figures 167–169, 336–342; map 4

Ischnothyreus peltifer, Simon, 1893: 299, fig. 264 (♂), misidentification.

TYPE: Male holotype, Museum Paris AR 5730, identified as 2702 Ischnothyreus peltifer E. S. Ceylon.

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Eugène Simon, who misidentified this species as Ischnothyreus peltifer (Simon, 1891), in his paper from 1893 in which a drawing of the male palp was published.

Eyes all subequal; ALE-PLE separated by less than ALE radius, PME touching throughout most of their length. Chelicerae slightly divergent; Abdomen: dorsal scutum pale orange, covering more than 3 ⁄ 4 of abdomen length, more than 1 ⁄ 2 to most of abdomen width, not fused to epigastric scutum, middle surface finely reticulate, sides finely reticulate; postepigastric scutum pale orange, almost rectangular, covering about 3 ⁄ 4 of abdominal length. Legs: yellow; patella plus tibia I near as long as carapace. Palp pale orange; patella: L, 0.37; P, 0.23; C, 0.62; H, 0.13; L/ H, 2.8; bulb ventrally greatly bulged bulb and the inverted T-shaped distal end in dorsal view and broad retrolaterally directed fold (figs. 167–169, 340–342).
