Costabolus gen. nov.
Type species: Costabolus baculus sp. nov., by present designation.
Name. Reflecting the longitudinal costae/ribs on the metazonae, and ʻ-bolusʼ, a common suffix for genus-group names in the Spirobolida ; masculine in gender.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from all pachybolid genera but Carinobolus gen. nov. by strongly crested metazonae, from Carinobolu s gen. nov. by the crests being simple, even, not bimodal, by the presence of prominent prefemoral protuberances on male legs 2 and of prominent coxal protuberances on male legs 3, and the anterior gonopods being subtriangular in overall shape, vs. rather palm-shaped in Carinobolu s gen. nov. See also Key below.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in southeastern Nigeria ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 ).
