Spalicus Roewer, 1949a Zalmoxidae (Arachnida: Opiliones: Laniatores) of the Paleotropics: a catalogue of Southeast Asian and Indo-Pacific species Sharma, Prashant P. Kury, Adriano B. Giribet, Gonzalo Zootaxa 2011 2972 37 58 7JWK Roewer, 1949 Roewer 1949 [238,514,285,311] Arachnida Phalangodidae Spalicus GBIF Animalia Opiliones 3 40 Arthropoda genus    Spalicus Roewer, 1949a, p. 22; Staręga, 1989, p. 5.  Gender.Masculine.    Typespecies.  Spalicus oeditarsusRoewer, 1949, by monotypy.   Diagnosis.Ocularium wider than long, unarmed, and displaced from the anterior margin of the carapace. First two transverse sulci not parallel and not connected through a median longitudinal sulcus; second transverse sulcus strongly angled posteriorly in the middle. Scutal areas 1–5, free tergites, and anal operculum unarmed. Spiracles visible. Proximal segment of chelicer without a prominent bulla. Tarsal formula 3: 7: 6: 6. Distitarsus I with two articles, distitarsus II with three articles. Malegenitalia unknown.   Remarks.Originally in Phalangodidae, the general appearance of this species suggests that it could be related to Zalmoxidae, barring the absence of the bulla. Similarly, Staręga (1989) considered the placement of this genus to be obscure. It is possible that  Spalicusis related to  Bogania, but neither hypothesis can be tested without examining the genitalia of this species.
