Diagnosis.
Adult males of Nannaria hardeni sp. nov. are distinct from other Nannaria and the nearby N. wilsoni , based on the following combination of characters: Gonopods. Gonopodal acropodite (Fig. 28 View Figure 28 ) gently curving medially before apex, distal zone reduced, not laminate, curving caudally with flanges as in N. wilsoni or with lobed lateral flange as in N. monsdomia sp. nov. Telopodite basal zone height> 1/2 length of acropodite, not <1/4 length of acropodite as in N. wilsoni . Tip simple, directed medially, without lateral flange as in N. monsdomia sp. nov., and not directed caudally with lateral flange as in N. wilsoni . Prefemur with straight, acicular prefemoral process, not laminate, curving medially as in N. monsdomia sp. nov. or N. wilsoni . Prefemoral process not crossing acropodite as in N. wilsoni or N. monsdomia sp. nov. Prefemoral process length subequal to height of telopodite basal zone, not greater than height of telopodite basal zone as in N. monsdomia sp. nov. and N. wilsoni . Prefemoral spine widely separated from prefemoral process (Fig. 28A View Figure 28 , red arrow) and sharp, tooth-like, not rounded as in N. monsdomia sp. nov. or lacking as in N. wilsoni . Color. Tergites with orange paranotal spots (Fig. 29 View Figure 29 ). Dark brown background. Dorsum of collum smooth with orange margin.
Measurements.
♂ holotype (VMNH, MPE02278): BL = 17.3, CW = 2.5, IW = 1.6, ISW = 0.6, B11W = 2.9, B11H = 1.9; ♀ paratype (VMNH, MPE02281): BL = 17.6, CW = 2.1, IW = 1.8, ISW = 0.6, B11W = 2.9, B11H = 1.9.
Variation.
No known variation.
Distribution.
Known from southern Virginia, near the North Carolina border (Virginia: Henry and Pittsylvania counties; Suppl. material 7; Fig. 128 View Figure 128 ). Distribution area: 374 km2; status: MRE.
Ecology.
Individuals of N. hardeni sp. nov. have been found in young, disturbed mesic hardwood forests under rocks, often in fern thickets. Interestingly, N. hardeni sp. nov. has also been collected from IPM sticky traps from inside the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville, Virginia.
Etymology.
This species is named after its collector, Curt W. Harden. The specific name is a genitive noun derived as a patronym.
Type locality.
United States, Virginia, Pittsylvania County, Angler’s Park, 36.5577°N, - 79.3515°W.
