Type material. México, Orizaba, Roewer No. 8076 in Naturhistorisches Museum , Wien, Austria. Known only from holotype male. Photos of type examined.
Description. Roewer (1934) described the flagellum complex as unfeathered, homogenous bristles, pictured a prolateral view of the male chelicera, p 559, fig. 322d, and described the coloration as pale-yellow with opisthosomal tergites having a dark median stripe. Muma (1970) added a description of the palpal setation, indicating cylinder bristles, spines and long whiplike setae, but no palpal papillae. Muma (1970) also indicated four short, thick, lance-like ctenidia. Roewer measured the type at 15 mm but Muma measured it at 29.5 mm. Photos sent of the type from the Naturhistoriches Museum, Wien indicate that the total length is 21.8 mm.
Discussion. The lack of a VDC and the presence of a wide, thin flagellar groove characteristic of the genus Eremorhax , as well as the presence of ctendia returns Eremocosta montezuma to Muma’s (1970) designation as Eremorhax montezuma .
