nodularis
series
Diagnosis: Muma and Brookhart (1988) recognized this series as including those members of the palpisetulosus group having the following characteristics: Males without a palpal scopula; dorsal process of fixed cheliceral finger a low elongate ridge occupying about 40% of finger length in both dorsal and lateral view; fondal notch barely one-half the width of base of fixed cheliceral finger (finger width/notch width mean = 1.41) and much deeper than wide (fondal notch length/width mean = 1.78); no definitive anterior tooth on movable cheliceral finger; males and females both with basal intermediate tooth of movable cheliceral finger located on anterior margin of the principal tooth; mesal tooth absent. Females with opercula typical of palpisetulosus species group, about 1.5 times wider than long, with the opercular notch occupying more than 30% of the opercular area. The vulvular opening is transverse, wide, and lies at or just caudad of, half the longitudinal length of the opercular notch. Distribution: United States: southern Arizona, southern California, southem New Mexico, southwestern Texas. Included species: Muma and Brookhart (1988) reported that there are three known species of this series, including Eremobates nodularis and two previously described species from Mexico, which they did not identify. They also indicated that there was another, possibly two, undescribed species of the series from the Mexican State of Coahuila.
