Eremobates bixleri Muma and Brookhart 1988

Eremobates

HOLOTYPE: United States.

Original description:
Brookhart and Muma 1988:

Eremobates bixleri Muma and Brookhart new species

Figures 59 and 60

TYPES: Male holotype from Pima Co., Tucson, Arizona, April 30, 1968, David E. Bixler, deposited in FSCA.

DIAGNOSIS: Males distinguished by tiny triangular dorso-ectal spur on fixed cheliceral finger; rounded, but apically notched process on movable cheliceral finger; no ctenidia; palpi dusky on metatarsal tips and all of tarsi. Dorsal process of fixed cheliceral finger peaked over distal half of fondal notch.
Females known from a single badly fragmented , previously dehydrated specimen from Tucson, Arizona.

DESCRIPTION: Species pale to dusty yellow in color with dusky purplish markings as follows. Palpi pale yellow basally to dusty yellow distally with distal 1/4 of metatarsi and all of tarsi dusky. Legs pale yellow with femoral-tibial union of leg IV dusty yellow to dusky. Propeltidia dark along anterior margin with dusky marking and pale area as on ajoanus. Mesopeltidia, metapeltidia, and abdominal terga dusky with pleura pale. Sterna pale.
Males (3) relatively uniform in size; CP varies from 9. 1- 10.6 (mean 10.1). Legs long; A/CP varies from 6.4-6.9 (mean 6.7). Fondal notches slightly longer than wide; length/width ratio was same for all 3 specimens, 1.3 (fig. 59). No ctenidia. Mesal tooth on movable cheliceral finger varies from small to large; mode small.
Single female designated here too badly dessicated and fragmented to permit accurate description; opercula (fig. 60).

DISTRIBUTION: All 3 of our male study specimens and the single female from  Tucson, Arizona, collected between April 20 and June 2. See Plate XIX.

REMARKS: Paler coloration, pale, less distinct markings, and distinctly notched anterior process on movable cheliceral finger presently distinguish this species from ajoanus. Ventral notch of movable cheliceral finger completely obscured from a lateral view for this species, and may also prove diagnostic.
