Material studied
Holotype male, in fragments – only 11 segments in 5 pieces – with segments around gonopods missing, Reg.-Nr. ZSMA20052252, and two slides with gonopods, Reg.-Nr. ZSMA20035204, and legpairs 1–7, Reg.-Nr. ZSMA20035205 (all BSCZ).
New records: 2 males, 2 females, Japan, Ryukyu Archipelago, Miyako-jima Island, Rinko-abu (cave), 21 August 1979; 8 males, 2 females, Japan, Ryukyu Archipelago, Miyako-jima Island, Fukumine-no-kara (cave), 25 August 1979; 1 male, 1 female, 1 juv., 1 fragment, Japan, Ryukyu Archipelago, Miyako-jima Island, Nishibe zuzaga (cave), 26 August 1979, all leg. M. Shimojana (in the collection of M. Shimojana, Okinawa).
Distribution
Japan, Ryukyu Archipelago, Miyako-jima island.
Remarks
Although after the description of Riukiupeltis jamashinai in 1939, Jeekel (1968)[3] and Hoffman (1973)[5] commented that gonopod tibiotarsus is missing in this species, Verhoeff’s line drawing clearly shows it as depicted from the slide preparation (Fig. 1). Re-examining the type specimen and the slide of the gonopod, as well as studying newly identified specimens found in Shimojana’s collection, we are able to confirm that a gonopod tibiotarsus (=solenophore, sph in Fig. 2) is present, although it is small and closely attached to solenomere (sl in Fig. 2).
