Name

Eriauchenius workmani O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1881 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Eriauchenius workmanni O. P.-Cambridge, 1881: 768, pl. 66, fig. 2.
• Archaea workmani (O. P.-Cambridge): Simon 1895^[1]: 935–937, figs 32, 1005–1006.
• Eriauchenius workmanni O. P.-Cambridge: Perez-Gonzalez et al. 2016: 37, fig. 3D.

Taxonomical note

Originally named Eriauchenius workmanni by Pickard-Cambridge in 1881, but subsequently referred to as Eriauchenius workmani, except for a very recent reference to the original spelling (World Spider Catalogue 2017). Article 33.3.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature states that “when an incorrect subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the publication of the original spelling, the subsequent spelling and attribution are to be preserved and the spelling is deemed to be a correct original spelling”. We here follow the World Spider Catalogue and consider the spelling “workmani” as “prevailing use” and therefore the correct spelling of this species name.

Diagnosis

Males and females are considered part of the “workmani group” based on having a single dorsal protuberance on the abdomen (a triangular shaped abdomen). Males of E. workmani are distinguished from all other species by the large bump on the pedipalpal bulbs (see arrow in Fig. 8H). Females are distinguished from E. andriamanelo by lacking the heavily sclerotized “T” shaped structure on the posterior of the bursa, from E. andrianampoinimerina by lacking the strong abdomen markings and by the “neck” having a tilt angle that is less than 80°, and from E. ranavalona by lacking the lime-green abdomen markings. Females are indistinguishable from the remaining “workmani group” species.

Description

Male (based on CASENT9018947, from Antsiranana, Parc National de Marojejy, Madagascar). Total length 4.27, carapace 1.64 long, 1.36 wide. Abdomen 2.49 long, 1.92 wide, 2.67 high, with a prominent dorsal hump. Carapace tilt angle 75.56°, tilt height (CtH) 4.19, constriction 0.46, head length 1.57, neck length 2.38. CtH divided by carapace length 2.55. Cephalon with AME on a large bulge and 4 post-ocular protrusions on the apex of the cephalon (Fig. 8A), each provided with a short modified spine at the tip. Chelicerae 4.02 long, and with spine (Fig. 8A) 0.30 from base of chelicerae. Femur I 9.29 long. Sternum 1.11 long, 0.57 wide. Carapace, chelicerae, sternum and femora I & II reddish dark brown with many white setae (Fig. 8A). All coxae and legs III & IV yellowish brown. Legs III & IV with darker annulations on femora, tibiae and metatarsi. Abdomen yellowish brown, mottled with brown, and light brown book-lung covers, all covered with many white setae (Fig. 8A). Pedipalpal tegulum of the “workmani group” form), with apical conductor encircling a pit-like cavity (Fig. 8D–K). Conductor tip is a broad triangular point similar to other “workmani group” species except E. andriamanelo (Fig. 3H). MA with a bifurcation, variably shaped (Fig. 8C, L). Embolus similar to other “workmani group” species, being broad and complex with the sperm duct opening in the middle and sclerotization only at the tip (Fig. 8E, K–L).
Female (based on CASENT9018947, from Antsiranana, Parc National de Marojejy, Madagascar). Total length 4.53, carapace 1.62 long, 1.36 wide. Abdomen 2.88 long, 2.65 wide, 3.59 high, with dorsal hump. Carapace tilt angle 74.48°, tilt height (CtH) 3.90, constriction 0.46, head length 1.47, neck length 2.25. CtH divided by carapace length 2.41. Cephalon as in male. Chelicerae 3.77 long, and with spine 0.35 from base of chelicerae. Tarsus of pedipalps with ventral patch of long thick setae. Femur I 6.15 long. Sternum 1.04 long, 0.60 wide. Colors as in male, but generally darker. Female internal genitalia indistinguishable from other “workmani group” species (Fig. 8B).

Variation

Total length 3.45–5.27 (males; n=5), 3.89–6.72 (females; n=5); Carapace length 1.37–2.17 (males; n=5), 1.45–2.40 (females; n=5); Femur I 5.09–6.10 times the length of carapace in males (n=5) and 3.75–4.04 times the length of carapace in females (n=5). CtH divided by carapace length 2.19–2.67 in males (n=5), 2.12–2.48 in females (n=5). Average femur I length 9.55 (males; n=5), 6.81 (females; n=5).

Natural history

Specimens have been collected in montane and lowland rainforest through general collecting, beating vegetation, sweeping, raking, cryptic searching, and among fallen logs and litter at altitudes of 26–1200 m above sea level. Several specimens were collected with eggcases that look similar to eggcases from other “workmani group” species.

Distribution

Widely distributed in the eastern rainforests of Madagascar from north to south (Fig. 29).

Nomenclatural remarks

The holotype is a juvenile. We assume it to be the species we are describing because this species is the most widespread common species of the “workmani group”. Millot (1948)^[2] assumed the same thing.
