Rick West made me aware of a new description: Oligoxystre diamantinensis sp. nov.
- BERTANI, R., T. DOS SANTOS & A. F. RIGHI (2009): A new species of Oligoxystre Vellard 1924 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) from Brazil. ZooKeys 5: 41-51.
Abstract:
A new species of Oligoxystre, Oligoxystre diamantinensis sp. n., is described from Brazil. Male can be distinguished from all other Oligoxystre species by the male palpal bulb lacking a small subapical keel on the embolus in conjunction with the embolus length (less than 2.5 times the tegulum length) and by the tibial spur being inserted in a perpendicular angle in relation to the tibia axis. Female can be distinguished by the spermathecae being much more longer than wide, lacking lateral lobes and having a large terminal lobe with ? ve smaller lobes around it. Additionally, males and females can be distinguished by the general blue metallic color pattern contrasting with the reddish setae on the abdomen. A key for all described Oligoxystre species is presented. Th e cladistic relationship of O. diamantinensis sp. n. with the other Oli-goxystre species is discussed and data on its habitat is provided.
all the best,
Martin
