Treatment

Amplectister tenax Caterino and Maddison, 2018 View in CoL

( Fig. 14A, D View Figure 14 )

The first abdominal ventrite is more clearly visible in this specimen ( HUM: HU0000121211 View Materials ) than in previously available material (i.e. the holotype). The steep lateral flanges are partially formed by a very dense aggregation of long setae stuck together ( Fig. 14D View Figure 14 ), whereas in the original description setae were mentioned as occurring only distally on these ridges (Caterino and Maddison 2018).
