Treatment

Copidognathus tabellio (Trouessart, 1894) ( Figs. 14 A–E View Figure 14 )

Material examined Finike, 2 m, Laurencia obtusa , 7 ♀♀, 2 ♂♂.

Morphology and notes

Females 265–325 long, 185–200 wide, of males 280 and 310 long, 190 and 200 wide. Integument of the specimens have brown pigmentation both females and males. Especially, this is clearly can be seen on OC. In females, AD 100 long, 87 wide. AD with 3 distinct rounded porose areolae. OC almost as long as AD (87) with 2 large corneae. PD 213 long, 125 wide. PD with a pair of costae that are two rosetta pores wide. AE with three pairs of ventral setae. PE with 1 dorsal and 3 ventral setae. AE 90 long, 163 wide. Epimeral pores 7–8 wide. GA 137 long, 100 wide; with 3 pairs of pgs. Ovipositor extending only slightly beyond GO. Male GA 125 long, 100 wide; with 22– 24 pgs ( Figs. 14 A–C View Figure 14 ). Gnathosoma 100 long, 63 wide; 1.5 times longer than wide. Rostrum triangular and reaching level of P-3. Tectum with short median process not reaching end of P-1 ( Fig. 14 D View Figure 14 ). The chaetotaxy of leg I as follows (from trochanter to tarsus); 1, 2, 5, 3, 6, 5 ( Fig. 14 E View Figure 14 ). According to Bartsch (2001), C. tabellio is closely related to C. lamelloides . The two species are closest for having the raised areolae bear typical rosette pores, the AD a pair of round porose areolae, the PD a pair of medial costae, the ventral plates delimited marginal areolae but can be distinguished by statement of ds-2 (present on OC in C. tabellio , whereas present on integument in C. lamelloides ), presence of glp-1 (present near anterolateral margins of AD in C. tabellio whereas present in margins of porose areola in C. lamelloides ) and type of tibia IV (smooth in C. tabellio whereas bipectinate in C. lamelloides ).
