Diagnosis

Buemarinoids are diagnosed using male genitalia as for the tribe detailed in Karaman (2019). The penis has a ventral plate modified into two independent articulated and elongated lobes, each bearing two superior and three inferior setae ( Fig. 7 B ) ( Karaman 2019, fig. 9). As the only member of Triaenonychoidea in the Southern Hemisphere, Flavonuncia is easily differentiated from all other triaenonychids in Madagascar by a combination of its small body size, yellow integument colour, an ocularium without a spine, and 3-segmented tarsus on leg I ( Lawrence 1959, fig. 3).
