Description
Genus: Cryptofavognathus gen. nov.
Type species: Favognathus afyonensis Koç & Akyol, 2004.
Diagnosis. Adult female. Idiosoma flattened dorsoventrally, both surfaces evenly punctated, with 11 pairs of dorsal body setae; one pair of eyes and one pair of postocular bodies laterally between setae sce and c 2; a single holonotal sclerite laterally separating the dorsum and venter; slit-like cupules instead of rounded cupules; a protective hood anterior of the propodosoma and an retractable gnathosoma; chelicerae separate; palp five-segmented, subcapitulum with two pairs of adoral setae distally and one pair of subcapitular setae proximally; prosternal apron not dimpled; ventral opisthosoma with two pairs of aggenital setae; genital opening longitudinal, with two pairs of setae adjacent to genital opening; anal shield terminally and separated from genital shield, with three pairs of pseudanal setae; coxisternal shields absent; leg tarsal claws present.
Adult male. Genital and anal openings fused, with an aedeagus, genital setae absent; having same number of tarsal solenidia as female, solenidia ω on tarsi I–IV enlarged; setae h 1, h 2 and f 1 closely associated.
Etymology. The genus name, Cryptofavognathus, is a combination of the prefix Crypto of the genus name Cryptognathus, with the genus name Favognathus.
Remarks. The new genus Cryptofavognathus is similar to the genera Cryptognathus and Favognathus. It can easily be distinguished from Cryptognathus by having two pairs of genital setae. This genus also can be separated from Favognathus by having a transparent prosternal apron. This is an intermediate genus between the genera Cryptognathus and Favognathus.
