Misionella Ramirez & Grismado, 1997 View in CoL

Misionella Ramírez & Grismado, 1997: 342, type species Misionella mendensis ( Mello-Leitão, 1920), by monotypy and original designation.

Diagnosis.

Males of Misionella have the cymbium fused to the tegulum, as do Pikelinia and Lihuelistata ; they can be distinguished from Pikelinia by the lack of an apophysis on the palpal tibia, and from Lihuelistata by the modified second metatarsi ( Ramírez and Grismado 1997). Females of Misionella can be distinguished from Kukulcania Lehtinen by having a three-rowed calamistrum, from Pikelinia by having spermathecae either paired side by side or unilobulate, and from Lihuelistata by lacking pores on the ducts of the spermathecae ( Ramírez and Grismado 1997).
