The specific epithet refers to the type locality, Sumatra Island.</p> <p>Remarks. The new species, Dactyloscirus sumatranus sp. nov. closely resembles D. dolichosetosus Den Heyer, 1979 from South Africa in sharing the following features in females: (1) the median shield is absent and a pair of lateral hysterosomal shields is present and longer than the adjacent setae c 1 and c 2; (2) bulbous apophyses are present on pedipalpal telofemur and on the joint of pedipalpal genu and tibiotarsus; (3) the posterior trichobothria sce on the propodosomal shield are very long and reaching the anus; and (4) the same number of femoral setae are present, namely, 5-5-3-2 on basifemora and 5-5-4-4 on telofemora. It differs from the latter species in the following characterstics: (1) the basal half of chelicera is strongly inflated, about four times wider than the distal part (vs. slender and gradually tapered towards the tip of claw in D. dolichosetosus); (2) the length of dorsolateral hysterosomal shields is about 2/3 the setal distance c 1 –c 2 (vs. equal); (3) hysterosomal setae f 1 and h 1 are at least twice as long as the anterior pairs c 1 –e 1 (vs. only slightly longer); and (4) the length of famulus on tarsus I is only ¾ the closely associated asl (vs. longer).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B587806F473658FF00CA889B742953	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Chaetotaxy of I – IV leg segments: basal segments from coxa to telofemur as in female; genu I—4 sts, 3 asl; genu II—6 sts, 1 asl; genu III—5 sts, 1 asl; genu IV—5 sts, 1 asl; tibia I—4 sts, 1 asl and 1 mst in duplex, 1 bsl; tibia II—5 sts, 1 bsl; tibia III—5 sts, 1 bsl; tibia IV—4 sts, 1 T; tarsus I—20 sts,1 fam, 2 bsl, 1 mst in triplex with fam and the distal bsl, 1 dtsl; tarsus II—20 sts, 1 bsl, 1 dtsl; tarsus III—19 sts, 1 dtsl; tarsus IV—17 sts, 1 dtsl. Relative lengths of famulus and associated bsl as in female, prongs at its tip not observed. Long spiculiform setae present on basifemora and telofemora III and IV as in female.</p> <p>Material. Holotype female: unknown village in Langkat Regency (3.86540 o, 98.3088 oE), North Sumatra Province, INDONESIA, 15 Dec. 2013, collected by I.L. Lit, Jr., et al., caught by pitfall trap in cornfield (sample LKT1-P5- R1 -PF-1). Paratypes: 1 female, same data as for holotype but from sample taken on 10 Jan. 2014; 1 male, same data as for holotype but collected from a different sample; and 1 male, same locality data as for holotype, date unknown.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type habitat, in corn (Zea mays) fields, and is a combination of the Indonesian (Bahasa) words “ ladang ” (field) and “ jagung ” (corn); it is treated as a Latinized noun in apposition.</p> <p>Remarks. The female of Dactyloscirus ladangjagung sp. nov. resembles that of D. hoffmannae Swift, 1996 from Hawaii in having the following characterstics: (1) the pedipalpal tibiotarsus is thick and gradually tapered distally; (2) the apophysis on pedipalpal genu is small and narrowly bulbous; (3) the median dorsal hysterosomal shield is absent; and (4) a pair of lateral hysterosomal shields is present. The females of the two species are separated by the number of setae (sts) on some leg segments, viz., 5-5-3-2 on basifemora in D. ladangjagung (vs. 5-5-3- 1 in D. hoffmannae), and on tibiae 5-5-5-4 (vs. 4-5-4-2). In addition, seta g 4 is the longest of all genital setae in the female of D. ladangjagung while g 3 is longest in D. hoffmannae.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B587806F423655FF00CEF29A272873	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
