Decathelepus

description: Decathelepus Hutchings, 1977 emended
Type species: Decathelepus ocellatus Hutchings, 1977, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Prostomium at base of upper lip, basal part relatively large, distal part forming thick transverse shelf-like process of uniform width, sometimes expanded to form tongue-like longitudinal process, extending along dorsal side of upper lip. Upper lip narrow and elongate, lower lip expanded. Anterior segments forming raised crests dorsally and laterally. Segment 1 ending laterally to lower lip. Segment 2 ventrally oblique around and below lower lip. From segment 3, segments highly glandular. Two pairs of branchiae on segments 2–3, each pair with simple filaments, progressively tapering to tips. Notopodia beginning from segment 3 and extending for 15 segments, with distally limbate notochaetae on both tiers, those on anterior tier shorter. Neuropodia beginning from segment 12, present as low ridges throughout. Uncini higher than long, with short triangular heel, developed prow and dorsal button closer to tip of prow than base of main fang.
Remarks. The diagnosis of the genus is here emended to allow for the absence of the tongue-like prostomial process originating from the distal part of prostomium, which also occurs in Glossothelepus Hutchings and Glasby, 1986 and Rhinothelepus Hutchings, 1974. Although it seems unlikely that such a structure has appeared independently in these genera, at this point, as said before, the boundaries for the variation allowed within each genus are beyond the scope of the present paper and therefore we are relying upon the number of pairs of notopodia present and on the segments on which notopodia and neuropodia first appear in order to characterize our new species as Decathelepus.

Harpachylus Roewer, 1943: 25 (type species Harpachylus tibialis Roewer, 1943, by monotypy). syn. n.
Diagnosis. Roeweria can be distinguished from most other genera of Pachylinae by the penis with ventral plate cordiform or hexagonal (rectangular or pyriform in most other genera) and stylus with two lateral apical projections (Figs. 5, 6, 8). The shape of the external apophysis of coxa IV is unique among Pachylinae, as it is unbranched, long and curved downwards, following the orientation of the external margin of trochanter IV. Femur IV is straight (Fig. 7 A–D) or slightly arched dorsad (Fig. 3 E). Other characters can be used in combination to distinguish this genus from other Pachylinae genera: ocularium and area III with a large pair of apophyses (Figs. 1, 2, 4, 7); most tubercles of dorsal scutum surrounded by yellow patches (Fig. 7); female free tergites I–III with one central pair of high and acuminated tubercles (Fig. 2); area III with blunt armature; coxa IV with internal apophysis; trochanter IV longer than wide (Figs. 1 A,C, 4, 7); long and smooth stylus of penis (Figs. 5, 6, 8).

Metopina braueri (Strobl): Brues, 1915: 140; Disney, 1979: 104; Withers, 1996: 321.
Material. Israel: 1♀ Nahal Oren [32°42'59"N 35°01'49"E], 30.v.1998, A. Freidberg.
Distribution. The species has been found across Europe (Disney, 1991; Weber & Schiegg, 2001; Papp, 2002). This is the first record of it in Israel.
Biology. Unknown.
Remarks. Metopina braueri is distinct in having a very long flap of the abdominal tergite 5. The specimen on hand demonstrates this remarkable feature; however, the rear portion of tergite 5 somewhat differs from illustrations provided by Disney (1979, 1983), and the specimen may turn out to belong to a new species. Additional material is required to prove or reject this assumption.

description: Streblosoma Sars, 1872
Type species: Grymaea bairdi Malmgren, 1866.
Diagnosis. Prostomium at base of upper lip; basal part of prostomium frequently with eyespots, distal part usually forming shelf-like process from which buccal tentacles originate. Peristomium forming lips, sometimes continuing dorsally. Lateral lobes on anterior segments absent, but segment 2 usually protruding ventrally. Zero to 3 pairs of branchiae, on segments 2–4, each with numerous simple filaments progressively tapering to tips. Notopodia beginning on segment 2, continuing for variable number of segments; notochaetae as limbate capillaries, arranged in two tiers, anterior tier with shorter chaetae. Neuropodia beginning on segment 5, extending until posterior body, neuropodia usually glandular, slightly raised from body wall; uncini with elongate base, dorsal button terminal or almost, prow, if present, reduced to short knob and main fang topped by few rows of secondary teeth.
Remarks. Streblosoma is a large genus, with 30 described species, distinguished mostly by arrangement and number of branchial filaments and eyespots, if present, morphology of notochaetae and uncini, arrangement of uncini and, in the case of Streblosoma bingarra sp. nov., described below, size of lower lip and structure of anterior ventral surface of the body.

Material. Israel: 1♂ Almagor [32°55'N 35°36'E], 10–25.xii.2010, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap; 1♀ same data but 12–31.i.2011; 1♂ same data but 8–28.ii.2011; 2♂ same data but 7–30.iv.2011.
Distribution. The species has been found across Europe (Disney, 1991; Weber & Schiegg, 2001) and in Israel (Lengyel, 2011). It is also known from Yemen, Macaronesia and Benin (Disney, 2006; Disney et al., 2010, 2013).
Biology. This species appears to be attracted to flowers of Taraxacum, Reseda and Potentilla, as well as to meat baits (Withers, 1996; Disney et al., 2010). In Benin, the species was reared from Russulaceae fungi (Disney et al., 2013).
Remarks. Females of M. heselhausi resemble those of M. oligoneura, the main difference between them being the size measured as the width of the abdominal tergite 4 (<0.2 mm in M. oligoneura vs> 0.3 mm in M. heselhausi). However, following the discovery of intermediate specimens of M. heselhausi from the Canary Islands Disney & Prescher (2003, figs 1–2) suggested that the two species can be distinguished by the relative length of the anterolateral arms of the abdominal tergite 10, which are clearly shorter in M. heselhausi. Females from Almagor also has tergite 4 measured between 0.2–0.3 mm, but the length of tergite 10 apodemes allows its confident attribution to M. heselhausi.

Liphistius

description: GenusLiphistiusSchiödte, 1849
Type species.
Liphistius desultor Schiödte, 1849 from Malaysia.
Diagnosis.
Liphistius can be distinguished from the other seven genera by having the male palps bearing tibial apophysis (TiA) (Figs 3 A, 5 C, 7 C, 9 A), clavate trichobothria on the dorsal side of cymbia and leg tarsi, and vulvae possessing median receptacular cluster (RC) and sclerotized poreplate (PPl) (Figs 4, 6, 8, 10).
Distribution.
China (Yunnan Province), Indonesia (Sumatra), Laos, Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, and Thailand.
Comments on Liphistius in Myanmar.
Eleven named Liphistius species in Myanmar were grouped into three species-groups: the birmanicus - group, comprising nine valid species; the bristowei - group, consisting of one known species; and the trang - group, also containing one known species (Schwendinger 1990; Schwendinger et al. 2022; Sivayyapram et al. 2024). All named Liphistius species of the birmanicus - group were described based on both sexes, except for L. hpruso Aung, Xu, Lwin, Sang, Yu, Liu, Liu & Li, 2019, which is only known from females. In this study, four new Liphistius species belonging to the birmanicus - group are described, identified according to the morphology of their copulatory organs in both sexes.
Composition of the birmanicus - group:
L. birmanicus, L. cupreus Schwendinger & Huber, 2022, L. ferox Schwendinger & Huber, 2022, L. hpruso, L. lahu Schwendinger, 1998, L. lordae Platnick & Sedgwick, 1984, L. metopiae Schwendinger, 2022, L. nabang Yu, Zhang & Zhang, 2021, L. pinlaung Aung, Xu, Lwin, Sang, Yu, Liu, Liu & Li, 2019, L. platnicki Schwendinger & Huber, 2022, L. pyinoolwin Xu, Yu, Aung, Yu, Liu, Lwin, Sang & Li, 2021, L. tung Schwendinger, 2022.

Metopina obsoleta

description: Metopina obsoleta Beyer, 1960
(Figs 4, 8, 11)
Metopina obsoleta Beyer, 1960: 429; Disney & Kistner, 1989: 86.
Material. Israel: 1♀ Almagor [32°55'N 35°36'E], 2.xi.2010, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap; 1♀ same data but 16–31.xi.2010; 1♂ same data but 12–31.i.2011.
Distribution. This species was described from Uganda (Beyer, 1960) and subsequently found in Senegal, Zambia and Zimbabwe (Disney & Kistner, 1989). This is the first record of it in Israel.
Biology. In Zimbabwe, this species was collected from a fungus garden of Odontotermes transvaalensis (Disney & Kistner, 1989).
Remarks. Metopina obsoleta belongs to a group of species that also includes M. hamularis Liu, 1995, M. rotundata Liu, 2012, M. ventralis Schmitz, 1927, and M. vanharteni Disney, 2006. The female of each species is easily identifiable based on the structure of its tergite 5. On the contrary, recognition of males may pose some difficulty, although they all are distinct in having a club- or sausage-like spine on the trochanter (Fig. 11) and sclerotized plates on the abdominal venter. Males of M. obsoleta are very similar to those of M. vanharteni known from Saudi Arabia; however, females of the former species immediately differ in the semilunar shape of their fifth abdominal tergite.
