Ordo: Araneae
Familia: Selenopidae
Name
Amamanganops Crews & Harvey, 2011 gen. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type species:
Amamanganops baginawa sp. n.
Etymology
Amamanganops gen. n. comes from a combination of words and honors the indigenous peoples from the region of the type locality of this selenopid. Hanunuo Mangyan: Amamangan = spider; Greek: ops = face, eye. We retain the traditional ending of selenopid genera of ops, which originally referred to the eye arrangement. The gender is masculine.
Diagnosis
Amamanganops gen. n. can be separated from all other genera by genitalic characters. The epigynum is the simplest known for all Selenopidae. It is not divided into lateral lobes, has a sinuous posterior margin, and has extremely simple and small internal ducts (Figs 1A–B). Males unknown.
Description
Total length 6.90. Cephalothorax: Carapace with some dusky markings, wider than long. Fovea short, broad, and shallow. Setae variable, simple, with both long and thin and short and thick hairs present. AER straight, PER slightly recurved. PME equal to AME. Chelicerae slightly geniculate, robust, 3 prolateral and 2 retrolateral teeth. Legs: Leg II longer than leg IV, leg III longest. Right leg I has 4 paired spines on tibia and 3 on metatarsus; left leg is missing. Leg II has 5 paired spines on tibia and 3 on metatarsus. Tarsal scopulae absent. Female copulatory organs: Epigynum without lateral lobes, with a sinuate posterior margin, and epigynal pockets. Spermathecae small and simple (Figs 1–2).
Distribution
Amamanganops gen. n. is known from a single specimen collected around San Jose, on the southern part of the island of Mindoro (Map 1). It is likely found on other parts of the island.
Composition
A single species, Amamanganops baginawa sp. n.
