Description
Genus Schendylops Cook, 1899
Diagnosis. This taxon can be distinguished from all other genera currently recognized in the family Schendylidae by the following unique combination of features. Second maxillae: pleurites not fused to the posterior internal border of the coxosternite; apical claw of telopodites of second maxillae pectinate on both dorsal and ventral edges. Sternites of leg-bearing segments with pore-fields. Ultimate leg-bearing segment: ultimate legs with seven articles; pretarsus in form of a small hairy tubercle or replaced by a small spine or altogether absent; each coxopleuron with two internal coxal organs of simple structure (“homogeneous coxal glands” sensu Brölemann & Ribaut 1912).
Type species of the genus. Schendyla grandidieri Saussure & Zehnter, 1897, by original designation.
Remarks. Most of the Neotropical species of Schendylops are listed in Pereira & Minelli (1993); Hoffman & Pereira (1997); Morrone et al. (1999); Foddai et al. (2000); Minelli (2006). Besides the new species described below, the following four taxa should be added to those lists: Schendylops achalensis Pereira, 2008 (from Argentina: Córdoba Province: Pampa de Achala); Schendylops inquilinus Pereira, Uliana & Minelli, 2007 (from Brazil: Mato Grosso State: Pantanal de Poconé); Schendylops jeekeli Pereira, 2009 (from Brazil: São Paulo State: Santo André Municipio: Paranapiacaba [Alto da Serra]); and Schendylops ramirezi Pereira, 2013 (from Brazil: Rio de Janeiro State: Ilha Grande, [Praia Grande das Palmas]).
