A new dwarf theraphosid spider species of the genus Phlogiellus Pocock, 1897 (Aranei: Theraphosidae) from Vietnam
Abstract
A new alyrate species of the dwarf
theraphosid genus Phlogiellus Pocock, 1897, P. birulai
Bariev et Logunov, sp.n., is described from the Bidoup–
Nui Ba National Park, Vietnam based on a female series.
The new species can be clearly distinguished from other
alyrate congeners in possessing a unique conformation
of the spermathecae, which are almost uniform width
throughout their length. A male lectotype is designated
for Selenocosmia subinermis Giltay, 1934, described
from Bokor (Cambodia), with notes on the nomenclature
of this taxon.
