‘ Oedothorax ’ annulatus Wunderlich, 1974 View in CoL , incertae sedis.

Oedothorax annulatus Wunderlich, 1974: 185 View in CoL , figs 59–61 (Df)

Type material: Holotype: East Nepal, Jiri, 1800– 2000 m, 1♀ i.1970, coll. J. Martens ( SMF 28908, not examined).

Non-type material: 2♀, same data as holotype ( SMF 28909, not examined) .

Diagnosis:

Females: This species can be identified by the epigynal morphology, with spermathecae directly situated at the posterior margin of epigyne, and the copulatory ducts anterior to them (figs 60, 61 in Wunderlich, 1974).

Males: Unknown.

Distribution: Nepal.

Remarks: This species is only known by females. Given the relatively uniformity of the female internal genitalia and as also stated by Wunderlich (1974), the relationship of this species to other taxa could not be recognized before knowledge about the male occurs. The colour pattern of this species is different from that of Oedothorax s.s.. In addition, its distribution in Nepal is different from the Holarctic distribution of Oedothorax s.s.. Therefore, this species most likely does not belong to Oedothorax s.s..
