Oedothorax unciger TANASEVITCH 2020

Description

‘OEDOTHORAX’ UNCIGER TANASEVITCH, 2020 INCERTAE SEDIS

Oedothorax unciger Tanasevitch, 2020b: 127, figs 1–3, 7–12 (Dm).

Type material: Holotype: India: Meghalaya, Sohra, plateau, 1320 m a.s.l., ♂ 14–26.xii.2013, leg. K. P. Tomkovich (ZMMU). Paratype: 1♂ (ZMMU), together with holotype.

Diagnosis:

Males: This species is similar to many Oriental ‘ Oedothorax ’ species, but can be distinguished by its unique hook-shaped ventral radical process (see figs 8 and 12 in Tanasevitch 2020b).

Females: unknown.

Distribution: Only known from the type locality in India.

Remarks:According to the drawings in Tanasevitch (2020), the embolic division of this species resembles

those of ‘ Oe.’ kodaikanal, ‘ Oe.’ meghalaya, ‘ Oe.’ uncus, ‘ Oe.’ cunur, ‘ Oe.’ myanmar, ‘ Oe.’ sohra, ‘ Oe.khasi, ‘ Oe.bifoveatus and ‘ Oe.’ stylus and is, therefore, probably closely related to these species instead of Oedothorax s.s..
