Name
Pinelema Wang & Li, 2012 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Type species
Pinelema bailongensis Wang & Li, 2012 from Guangxi, China.
Diagnosis
Pinelema is similar to Telema Simon, 1882 and can be distinguished from Telema by the presence of a distinct cymbial apophysis that is lacking in Telema (Wang et al. 2012[1], figs 2C, 4A).
Comments
Pinelema species are small (0.97–1.80). Carapace 0.48–0.75 long, yellow, with long thin legs relative to body length; tibia I 0.94–2.08 long. Six eyes are normally developed, vestigial, or in some species are completely absent. If eyes are present, they are encircled by black rings. Male palps are large relative to their body, with a distinct cymbial apophysis; embolus is long, medium or short in comparison to the cymbium; the REC varies from 0.28 to 0.90. The receptacle is unpaired as in other telemids and has spiral ducts inside.
Distribution
China, Vietnam.
Natural history
Pinelema species inhabit karst caves or leaf litter of tropical rainforests.
