Cyphoderus cf. agnotus Boerner, 1906 Fig. 21B
Remarks .
A single individual was collected in the entrance area of a lava tube. Our specimen has a bidentate mucro and the unguis lacks unpaired ungual distal teeth, distinguishing it from Cyphoderus galapagoensis Jacquemart 1976 while matching the description of Cyphoderus agnotus, sensu Cassagnau (1963), albeit Cassagnau’s (1963) species description is relatively vague and lacks details about many important characters. Unfortunately, the material available is insufficient for a more complete redescription.
Distribution.
Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos, Ecuador; widespread throughout Neotropics.
