‘OEDOTHORAX’ MANGSIMA TANASEVITCH, 2020 INCERTAE SEDIS

Oedothorax mangsima Tanasevitch, 2020a: 287 , figs 5–7, 23–27 (Dm).

Type material: Holotype: Nepal: Kosi (= Koshi) Province, Sankhuwasawa District, Mangsima , 2200 m a.s.l, forest south of Mangsima , ravine, sifting dead leaves, mosses and rotten wood, 11.iv.1984, leg. I. Löbl & A. Smetana ( MNHG, not examined).

Diagnosis:

Males: This species is characterized by the prominent post-ocular groove and hump, as well as the long, almost verticle palpal tibial apophysis and the embolic division (see description in Tanasevitch 2020a).

Females: Unknown.

Distribution: Only known from the type locality in Nepal.

Habitat: Forest litter.

Remarks: According to our re-delimitation of Oedothorax in the present study, this species does not belong to Oedothorax , but is probably related to ‘ Oe. ’ myanmar or ‘ Oe. ’ kodaikanal . Further comparison with more species to determine the taxonomic status of these ‘ Oedothorax ’ incertae sedis species is required. Therefore, we provisionally do not change its genus.
