Remarks.
Notomicrus teramnus would also appear a member of the Notomicrus nanulus group, given the above-mentioned characters. An argument could be made that this is the case as it only appears to differ in the shape of the posterior lobes of the noterid platform being more angular than most species in the Notomicrus nanulus group. This species otherwise appears to lack characters that would unite it with other species groups, though this will require examination and/or phylogenetic investigation. We abstain from placing it as member of the Notomicrus nanulus group as N. teramnus is known only from a high elevation hygropetric habitat, which may present confounding morphological specialization. Aedeagal morphology is not here considered to be indicative of a particular placement, but the very unusual morphology of the aedeagus of N. teramnus (see Guimarães and Ferreira-Jr 2019) further raises questions of placement.
