Genus Ceratotarsonemus De Leon, 1956

Type species: Ceratotarsonemus scitus De Leon, 1956

Diagnosis. see Lindquist, 1986, p. 312-315 and Ochoa et al., p. 178.

Differential diagnosis. According to Ochoa et al. (1995), the adult females of Ceratotarsonemus , Daidalotarsonemus and Excelsotarsonemus are similar mainly by having some dorsal idiosomal setae enlarged (either greatly elongated and barbed, or thickened and lanceolate). Lindquist (1986) stated that both sexes of Ceratotarsonemus are distinctive in having setae c2 coarsely barbed and at least moderately elongated, in retaining only one genual setae on leg III, and consistently lacking tibial solenidion φ2 on leg I. In Daidalotarsonemus and Excelsotarsonemus females the setae c 2 may be either slender or leaf-shaped, 2-3 setae are present on genu III, and tibial solenidion φ2 is present on leg I.
