Genus Peplomeris Silvestri, 1917 View in CoL
Type species. Peplomeris demangei Silvestri, 1917: 144 View in CoL , by original designation.
Remarks. The genus Peplomeris was established by Silvestri (1917) as a subgenus to Rhopalomeris Verhoeff, 1906 , and was placed in the subfamily Doderiinae . Mauriès (1971) assigned this genus to the tribe Haploglomerini . The genus Peplomeris is currently in the subfamily Haploglomerinae due to their simple, elongated telopods, presence of a prefemoral trichostele, and femoral trichostele strongly reduced or absent ( Wesener, 2015: 379)
The genus Peplomeris was known from two species: P. magna Golovatch, 1983 and P. demangei Silvestri, 1917 from northern Vietnam. The two species can be distinguished by the number of setae in podomere 4 of leg 17 (two in P. magna , one in P. demangei ) and the direction of syncoxial horns (mesoventrad, and slightly above syncoxial lobe in P. magna versus ventrad, noticeably above syncoxial lobe
in P. demangei ).
