Name

Karaops badgeradda Crews & Harvey, 2011 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

Type material

Holotype female (WAM T97214): site 5, Badgeradda Range, Muggon Station, 26°46'01.6"S, 115°32'54.4"E, Western Australia, Australia, 18.III.2009, S.C. Crews, M.C. Murrmann, under rocks.

Other material examined

AUSTRALIA: Western Australia: collected with holotype, 2♀ (WAM T97213, T97215); Muggon Station, site MUG 9, 26°49'03"S, 115°32'56"E, 20–28.X.2003, A. Desmond, M. Cowan, dry pitfall, 1 immature (WAM T95019); Muggon Station, site MUG 5, 26°46'S, 115°33'E, 20–28.X.2003, A. Desmond, M. Cowan, dry pitfall, 2 immatures (WAM T95020).

Etymology

The specific epithet comes from the type locality. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species can be separated from all other species by genitalic characteristics, including a bilobed sclerotized area covering the copulatory openings located in the posterior third of the epigynal plate (Fig. 33). Males unknown.

Remarks

Immatures are matched with this species as they were collected from the same locality as the holotype.

Mouthparts:chelicerae with a few stout setae medially and anteriorly; lateral boss present, smooth; promargin with 3 teeth, retromargin with 2 teeth; maxillae longer than broad, with tuft of conspicuous setae distally. Sternum:0.83 times longer than broad, posteriorly indented. Pedipalp:claw present with more than 6 teeth. Legs:leg I much shorter than legs II, III and IV; leg formula 3421; scopulae absent on all legs; tarsus I–IV with strong claw tufts; claws without teeth; spination: leg I, Fm pr 1–1–1, d 1–1–1, rl 0; Ti d 0, v 2–2–2–2–2; Mt v 2–2–2–2; Ti and Mt I and II with strong spines; leg II, Fm pr 0, dorsal 1–1–1, rl 0; Ti v 2–2–2–2–2; Mt v 2–2–2–2; leg III, Fm pr 0, d 1–1–1, rl 0; Ti v 1–1–0; Mt 2–0; leg IV, Fm pr 0, d 1–1–1, rl 0; Ti v 1–0; Mt 0. Abdomen:terminal setal tufts present. Epigyne:lateral lobes fused, small medial depression in lower third of plate, bilobed sclerotized hood, epigynal pockets absent, copulatory openings located under hood; copulatory ducts in contact medially, then both curve outward, then back inward becoming darker and more sclerotized, then outward again before twisting around to the small ovoid, folded spermathecae, fertilization ducts located posteriorly, small posterodorsal fold present, not covering any part of the internal genital (Figs 33–34). Dimensions: Total length 7.33. Cephalothorax length 2.89, width 3.52. Sternum length 1.57, width 1.90. Abdomen length 4.44, width 3.88. Pedipalp: Fm 0.86, Pt 0.46, Ti 0.54, Ta 0.94, (total) 2.80. Leg I: Fm 3.51, Pt 1.29, Ti 2.99, Mt 2.77, Ta 1.20, (total) 11.76. Leg II: Fm 4.44, Pt 1.56, Ti 3.22, Mt 3.08, Ta 1.27, (total) 13.57. Leg III: Fm 4.77, Pt 1.51, Ti 3.73, Mt 3.52, Ta 1.39, (total) 14.92. Leg IV: Fm 4.68, Pt 1.53, Ti 3.44, Mt 3.03, Ta 1.53, (total) 14.21.
