Ordo: Araneae
Familia: Liocranidae
Name
Sestakovaia Zamani & Marusik, 2021 gen. nov. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type species
Sestakovaia hyrcania sp. nov.
Etymology
The new genus is named after our colleague and friend, Anna Šestáková (Western Slovakian Museum, Trnava, Slovakia); the gender is feminine.
Diagnosis
The new genus differs from other Liocraninae genera by the bent RTA (vs straight) with tip directed antero-dorsally. It differs from Mesiotelus Simon, 1897 by unmodified (not elongated) male chelicera, short palp (not longer than carapace), large and complex embolus (cf. Figs 9A, D, 10A with Fig. 11A) and epigyne lacking fine anterior hood (cf. Chyzer and Kulczyński 1897[1]: pl. 9, fig. 75 with Bosmans and El-Hennawy 2018[2]: fig. 1).
Description
Medium-sized, carapace ca 2.0 long, 1.5 wide, length of chelicera ca 1/3 of carapace length. Carapace and abdomen with distinct pattern. For details, see Chyzer and Kulczyński (1897)[1] and the description below.
Comments
Homology of anterior tegular apophysis (Aa) is not clear, as such structure is not known in other genera of the family.
Composition
Sestakovaia hyrcania sp. nov. and S. annulipes (Kulczyński, 1897), comb. nov.
Distribution
Central Europe, Near East and northern Iran.
