Eremobates fagei (Roewer 1934) Eremobates HOLOTYPE: United States. Original description SUBSEQUENT ACCOUNTS:
DISTRIBUTION: (Roewer) Fi gures 166 to 170Eremopus fagei Roewer, 1934, p. 563. (female)Eremobales purpusi, Muma, 195 1, p. 70. (in part, males and females from Fresno and San Benito Counties) Eremobales villosus Muma, 1970, p. 21. (in part, males and females from Fresno and San Benito Counties) Eremobales fagei, Muma, 1970, p. 16. (female) TYPES: F emale type and young from California (no further data), Roewer No. 9134, in MNHN.DIAGNOSIS: Mal es distinguished by small blade~like dorsal process of fixed cheliceral finger peaked over distal half of fondal notch; fondal notch narrower than widthof base of fixed cheliceral finger and longer than wide; flat topped more or less angularanter ior process, indistinct mesal tooth , and late rally very distinct ventral notch ofmovable cheliceral finger (fig. 166); basal metatarsal pal pal scopula of 77~81 papillae;6 short cte nidia on first post-stigmatic abdominal sternite (fig. 167).Females distinguished by opercula about 1.5 times as wide as long, with broad elongateanterior lobes, moderate sized opercular notches with strongly convex lateral margins.and w ide, bowed, vulvular openings occurring at posterior end of opercula (figs. 168-16 9).DESCRIPTION: Pale to dusty yellow with dusky purplish markings. Palpi pale yellow.or pale yellow except dusty yellow apically on femora. tibiae, metatarsi , and ventrallyon tarsi. Legs pale yellow or pale yellow except dusty yellow on apical ends of femoraand a ll of tibiae. Propeltidia either dusty yellow with dark margins or dusky with darkerm argins and pale centrally but without narrow pale stripe (fig. 170). Mesopeltidia.metapeltidia . and abdominal terga dusky; pleura pale. Sterna pale.Male allotyp e with a CP of 10.0; A/CP of 6.5; fondal notch ratio of 1.2; indistinctmesal tooth; basal . metatarsal, pal pal scopula varing in number of papillae from 77-81( mean 79); 6 ctenidia, the outer 4 of which are longer than 1/2 width of succeedinga bdominal sternite.Females (2) with CP varying from 7.4- 10.0 (mean 8.7); NCP varying from 5.5-6.2(mean 5.9); indistinct mesal tooth . Opercula 1.5- 1.8 times wider than long with opercularnotches occupying 34-38% (mean 36) of opercular area.DISTRIBUTION: In addition to type, we have examined a male and female fromFresno in central California. It is possible that Murna's (195 1) records of viJJosus, underE. purpusi, from Pacific Grove and San Benito County are this species. We have alsostudied a male from Cima, San Bernardino County that we also place here. T here arein sufficient records to indicate maturity.REMARKS: Male and female from Fresno are either identical with or so closely alliedwit h fagei that we hesitate placing them elsewhere at the present time.T his species is closely related to vi/losus and papillatus. It is much paler than vi/losusa nd the allotype has fewer papillae and ctenidia. It is much larger than papi/latus witha larger opercular notch , and to date has been found only in central California.
