Pseudocleobis
Pocock 1900a: 304; Kraepelin 1901a: 108; Roewer, 1934: 602; Mello-Leitão,
1938a: 23; Muma, 1971a: 14-16; Muma, 1976: 28.
Tetracleobis Roewer, 1934: 605; Muma, 1976: 28 (synonymized by
Maury, 1976: 93).
Type species:
Pseudocleobis andinus (Pocock), by original designation.
Original Description:
Pocock 1900:
Di
ffering
from
Cleobis
Sim.,
as recently
restricted
and defined
by Kraepelin
(Jahrb. Hamb.
Wiss. Anst.
xvi. pp.
223-227, 1899)
in the following particulars:-
The
tibia aod protarsus
of the palp are
furnished below
with short paired
spines in both
sexes.
In
the
male the third
tooth of the upper
jaw is
larger
than the first
and
much larger
than
the second,
which
is minute
and lodged
in
between the
other
two. In the
female the
third tooth
is also
larger than
the first and
second, but its
basal
width
is
less
than that of
these two
teeth taken
together.
Also
allied
to Mummucia,
but
having
the fourth
tarsus distinctly
trisegmented.
Roewer
(1934) characterized the genus as follows:
"Ammotrechinae,
deren 2. und 3. Tarsus ventral mit jeweils 1.2.2.4 Dornen und deren 4.
Tarsus ventral mit 2.2/2/2.4 Dornen bewehrt ist (Abb. 335, f,
k); Cheliceren am unbeweglichen Finger vor den 1 oder 2
Zwischenzähnen mit 3 Vorderzähnen, deren erster größer ist als der
zweite und kleiner als der dritte, und am beweglichen Finger ohne einen
medialen Wangenzahn neben
dem
Hauptzahn (Abb. 341, a-e)."
[Ammotrechinae
whose 2nd and 3rd Tarsus each bear 1.2.2.4 ventral spines and whose 4th
Tarsus bears 2.2/2/2.4 ventral spines (Fig. 335, f, k);
Fixed cheliceral finger with 2 anterior teeth in front of the 1 or 2
intermediate teeth, of which the first is greater than the second and
smaller than the third, and movable cheliceral finger without a medial
cheek tooth next to the main tooth (Fig. 337, a-e).]
In the same publication, Roewer (1934)
diagnosed the genus Tetracleobis, later regarded as a synonym of
Pseudocleobis by Maury (1976), as follows:
Ammotrechinae,
deren 2. und 3. Tarsus ventral mit jeweils 1.2.2.4 Dornen und deren 4.
Tarsus ventral mit 2.2/2/2.4 Dornen bewehrt ist (Abb. 335, f,
k); Cheliceren am unbeweglichen Finger mit 4 Vorderzähnen vor den 2
Zwischenzähnen und am beweglichen Finger ohne einen medialen Wangenzahn
neben dem Hauptzahn (Abb. 341, f).
[Ammotrechinae
whose 2nd and 3rd Tarsus each bear 1.2.2.4 ventral spines and whose 4th
Tarsus bears 2.2/2/2.4 ventral spines (Fig. 335, f, k);
Fixed cheliceral finger with 4 anterior teeth in front of the 2
intermediate teeth,
movable finger
without a medial cheek tooth next to the
main tooth (Fig. 341,
f).]
