All species other than M. minuta (fig. 13) have a retrolateral ledge on the male palpal tibia (e.g., fig. 4, rl) and a subdistally serrated palpal bulb and embolus (figs. 24–32). Females have distinctive spermathecae that are strongly sclerotized (at least basally) and bear cuticular outgrowths at their base (e.g., fig. 39) and can be distinguished from those of all other euctenizines by the presence of the following combination of characters: preening combs on metatarsi III and IV, a rastellum borne on a prominent mound with small rastellar spines, and carapace uniformly sclerotized. These spiders are known only from the southeastern United States.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: Small to moderately sized trapdoor spiders, carapace 2.80–8.00 long, 2.25–6.81 wide, glabrous or lightly hirsute, with fringe of stout black bristles (3’s) or lacking setae. Carapace coloration ranging from yellowish-red to dark reddish-brown (figs. 2, 3). Abdominal coloration uniform dark reddish-brown dorsally (3’s) or some species with wide dusky stripes on dorsum (♀ ’s, fig. 3), ventrum and spinnerets pale yellow. Carapace sclerotization uniform across its entire length. Foveal groove generally deep, procurved; straight to slightly recurved in some species. Eyes either not elevated or in some species elevated slightly on low mound. AME, PME subequal in diameter in majority of species; AER slightly procurved, PER slightly recurved. Pars cephalica moderately elevated (not steep).</p> <p>Sternum, as in most euctenizines, wider posteriorly, tapering anteriorly with widest point at coxae III. Posterior pair of sternal sigilla usually much larger, in some species nearly contiguous. Palpal endites longer than wide, small patch of few (3’s) or many (♀ ’s) cuspules concentrated on proximal, inner margin. Labium wider than long or subquadrate, with few or no cuspules. Anterior margin of chelicerae with 7–12 or more teeth, posterior margin with single row/patch of small denticles. Rastellum borne on distinct mound, armed with number of prominent spines. Anterior leg articles slender relative to posteri- or articles, lacking pseudosegmentation. Tarsi III, IV straight. Light to moderately dense scopulae on pedipalps (♀ ’s) and legs I, II; light scopulae on tarsus of legs III, IV in some species. Tarsi I with single row of trichobothria, usually arranged in zigzag pattern, sometimes interspersed with setae. Preening combs at tarsus-metatarsus joint on legs III, IV (♀ ’s), absent on leg III in some species.</p> <p>Apical article of PLS digitiform, short; all three segments with fused spigots (see Bond and Opell, 2002: fig. 3H). Terminal segment with two or three enlarged spigots at tip. PMS single segment short, with spigots, terminus rounded.</p> <p>Spermathecae relatively simple, comprising single pair of unbranched bulbs with moder- ately to heavily sclerotized base (e.g., figs. 39, 47). Distinctive male mating clasper (modified leg I, e.g., fig. 14); metatarsus medially compressed, expanded at metatarsus-tarsus junction. Cymbium of male pedipalp lacks spines, embolus with serrations or single tooth, some species with secondary prong (figs. 24–32).</p> <p>+</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Southeastern United States, extending westward into the Midwest and eastern Texas.</p> <p>SPECIES GROUPS: We recognize three species groups for the purposes of facilitating identification. Because a phylogeny of the genus is not available at present, these informal groups are not intended to represent monophyletic taxa. The foliata group contains three species in which the male palp bears no second prong, having at most a single enlarged tooth or serration. The fluviatilis group contains six species in which the male palp bears a second prong. The minuta group comprises one species in which the male palp bears no second prong, having a vestige of a single embolar tooth situated distally rather than proximally, and lacking a retrolateral ledge on the palpal tibia. One species known only from females remains unplaced.</p> <p>KEY TO MALES</p> <p>1.

Baker, P. Miller, G. Snodgrass), deposited in AMNH.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Dr. Patricia Miller.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the presence of a short, stubby ledge on the palpal tibia, a tibia without a noticeable retrolateral excavation in ventral view, and a long embolus and much shorter auxiliary prong, with its tip thick and bent toward the embolus (figs. 11, 31). As with other species in the fluviatilis group, females are difficult to diagnosis due to the paucity of morphological differences, but the spermathecal bulbs appear to have more elongate stalks and smaller bases than those of the other species (fig. 92), and have the posterior pair of sternal sigilla nearly contiguous.</p> <p>MALE (HOLOTYPE): Specimen preparation and condition. Specimen collected live in pitfall trap, preserved in ca. 70% ethanol. Coloration appears to be faded. Pedipalp, leg I left side, removed and stored in vial with specimen. General coloration. Carapace, chelicerae, and legs dark reddish brown (2.5YR 3/6). Abdomen uniform dark brown (5YR 4/3) dorsally, ventrum and spinnerets pale yellow, wide dusky stripes on dorsum. Cephalothorax. Carapace 5.62 long, 4.50 wide, glabrous, stout black bristles along fringe; surface smooth, pars cephalica elevated. Fringe, posterior margin with black bristles. Foveal groove deep, slightly procurved. Eye group slightly raised, not on tubercle. AER slightly procurved, PER slightly recurved, PME, AME subequal in diameter. Sternum moderately setose, STRl 3.00, STRw 2.80. Posterior sternal sigilla very large, positioned centrally, not contiguous, anterior sigilla pairs small, oval, marginal.

Lockley), deposited in AMNH, courtesy of Dr. Patricia Miller.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Dr. W. Howell of Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the presence of a bifurcate palpal bulb, with the lower auxiliary prong being much shorter than the embolus, bearing a swollen, distinct accessory ledge which gives it the appearance of being doubled distally, with the tip of the prong curved, and by the ledge of the palpal tibia being short and stubby (figs. 12, 98). Females are unknown.</p> <p>MALE (HOLOTYPE): Specimen preparation and condition. Specimen collected live from ‘‘under a log’’, preserved in ca. 70% ethanol. Coloration appears to be faded. Both pedipalps, leg I left side removed and stored in vial with specimen. General coloration. Carapace, chelicerae, and legs dark red (2.5YR 3/6). Abdomen very dusky red (2.5YR 2.5/2) dorsally, ventrum and spinnerets pale yellow; faint dusky stripes on dorsum. Cephalothorax. Carapace 5.94 long, 4.94 wide, glabrous, stout black bristles along fringe; surface smooth, pars cephalica elevated. Fringe, posterior margin with black bristles. Foveal groove deep, slightly procurved. Eyes on low mound. AER straight to slightly procurved, PER slightly recurved, PME, AME subequal in diameter. Sternum moderately setose, STRl 3.28, STRw 3.08. Posterior sternal sigilla large, positioned centrally, contiguous, anteri- or sigilla pairs small, oval, marginal. Chelicerae with distinct anterior tooth row (10 teeth), posterior margin with patch of small denticles. Palpal endites with patch of small cuspules on proximal, inner margin, labium with three cuspules, LBw 1.12, LBl 0.62. Rastellum consisting of five very stout spines on mound. Abdomen. Setose, heavier black setae intermingled with fine black setae. Legs. Leg I: 5.12, 2.40, 4.04, 2.80, 2.56; leg IV: 5.00, 2.20, 4.40, 4.48, 2.68. Very light tarsal scopulae present on legs I, II. Tarsus I with single, slightly staggered row of seven trichobothria. Leg I spination pattern illustrated in Figures 22, 93–95; TSp 7, TSr 11, TSrd 3. Pedipalp. Articles stout, lacking distinct spines (figs. 96–98). PTw 0.80, PTl 1.67, Bl 1.05. Ledge on distal-retrolateral surface of palpal tibia. Palpal bulb (figs. 12, 98) distally bifurcate, embolus relatively slender, auxiliary prong very thick, with swollen, distinct accessory ledge.</p> <p>FEMALE: Unknown.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: Only the holotype.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality in Mississippi (fig. 85).</p> <p>THE MINUTA GROUP</p> <p>This group includes a single species, from Florida, that may represent the sister group of all other Myrmekiaphila. Males lack the expanded ledge on the palpal tibia (fig. 102) and show only vague traces of a single embolar tooth (on the distal, rather than proximal, edge of the embolus). Alternatively, these features could represent a derived condition, thus representing a loss rather than a plesiomorphy.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/F345F707EA77CD57B596FBEBFC2EEF0D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
