Chelicerca ruficollis
Description
ruficollis Saussure, 1896b: 353 [Embia].
America centralis. One ♂.
Slide-mounted ♂ holotype with labels: “ Bugaba, 800-1500 ft., Champion” [printed on white card]; “ Embia ruficollis Sss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ EMBIA RUFICOLLIS SAUSS: HOLOTYPE” [handwritten on red card]. The first two labels have holes indicating that they were originally placed on an insect pin. The slide has two cover slips: the first covers both pairs of wings; the second covers the cleared but intact body of the specimen. The right antenna is missing and the left middle and hind legs are detached. Ross (1992) mentions that the specimen was originally cardmounted.
Davis (1939a) created the genus Saussurella for a specimen mistakenly identified by Longinos Navás as E. ruficollis Saussure. Recognising that this genus name was preoccupied, he later proposed the new name Saussurembia (Davis, 1940). Ross (1992) considered the generic concept valid, but, having studied the type of E. ruficollis, considered the specimen for which it was created to belong to a different species. Ross (1992) placed ruficollis Saussure in the genus Chelicerca, and described the species used to found the genus Saussurembia as S. davisi. Miller (2009) stated that in basing the genus on a misidentified specimen Davis is automatically considered to have established a new nominal species, which is the type species for the genus, and made S. davisi Ross, 1992 a junior synonym of S. ruficollis Davis, 1939. Maehr & Eades (2012) placed both davisi Ross and ruficollis Davis as distinct species in the genus Saussurembia.
