Kury, Adriano B., 2012, First report of the male of Zamora granulata Roewer, 1928, with implications on the higher taxonomy of the Zamorinae Kury, 1997 (Opiliones, Laniatores, Cranaidae), Zootaxa 3546, pp. 29-42 : 33

Rivetinus vulcanus ( Kury, 1997) new comb.

Zamora vulcana Kury 1997: 340, figs. 4–14; Kury 2003: 35.

Type data. 3 holotype Ƥ paratype, ( AMNH, examined), from Ecuador, Cotopaxi, northwestern slope of Mount Cotopaxi, 3500 m, 26.vii–5.viii.1969, P & B Wygodzinsky leg.

Diagnosis. Ocularium armed with two paramedian spiniform processes; scutal area I divided into two halves; coxae II and III with apical spiniform apophyses; pedipalp and legs coarsely and densely granulate.

Remarks. It is interesting to note that in the cladistic analysis of Pinto-da-Rocha & Hara (2009), when Zamora granulata was very poorly known, Zamora vulcana appeared as sister group of Globibunus rubrofemoratus . The character uniting both terminals was “coxa II with strong apical posterior apophysis”, which must have been a lapse, since in the diagnosis of Globibunus they state: “coxae II–III without conspicuous armature”.
