Tutacheyla robusta Corpuz-Raros, 1972: 266 View in CoL

This species was described from The Philippines ( Corpuz-Raros 1972). This is the first record of T. robusta View in CoL from Vietnam.

Material examined. 3 females, 2 males, Vietnam, Cat Tien National Park , on Dipterocarpus alatus ; crown, branches at the height of 20–25 m; 11°26′35.11′′ N 107°26′01.38′′ E; 20.XI.2022 – 10.XII.2022, collected by V. M. Salavatulin GoogleMaps ; 3 females, Vietnam, Cat Tien National Park , on Dipterocarpus alatus ; crown, branches at the height of 20–25 m; 11°26′30.60′′ N 107°25′56.15′′ E; 20.XI.2022 – 10.XII.2022, collected by V. M. Salavatulin GoogleMaps .

Remarks. Beron (2021) listed Tutacheyla buruensis ( Thewke, 1980) as a junior synonym of T. robusta . However, Corpuz-Raros (1988) separated these two species based on the number and shape of dorsal idiosomal setae. In this paper we are not accepted the synonymy of T. buruensis and T. robusta and follow the opinion of Corpuz-Raros (1988).
