‘OEDOTHORAX’ MYANMAR TANASEVITCH, 2017 INCERTAE SEDIS

Oedothorax myanmar Tanasevitch, 2017c: 339, figs 6–7, 43–47 (Dm).

Type material: Holotype: Myanmar: southern Chin State, above Kampetlet, below Mountain Oasis Resort (21°11’43.6” N, 94°02’1.1” E), 1585 m, secondary forest along stream, by hand and sifting, at day, ♂ 17.v.2014, leg. P. Jäger (SMF, not examined).

Diagnosis:

Males: This species is diagnosed by the absence of prosomal modification, the small denticle on the wide, rounded darkened palpaltibial prolateral apophysis, the spoon-shaped distal suprategular apophysis, and the shape of the embolic division, which has the anterior radical process, ventral radical process and radical tailpiece (see Tanasevitch 2017, pp. 339–340).

Females: Unknown.

Distribution: Only known from the type locality in Myanmar.

Remarks: According to the drawings in Tanasevitch (2017c), the embolic division of this species resembles those of ‘ Oe. ’ kodaikanal, ‘ Oe. ’ meghalaya, ‘ Oe. ’ uncus, ‘ Oe. ’ cunur, ‘ Oe. ’ khasi, ‘ Oe. ’ bifoveatus and ‘ Oe. ’ stylus, and is, therefore, probably closely related to these species instead of Oedothorax s.s. .
