Genus Schismatothele (a.k.a. Hemiercus)

[c.h.esteban]

Hi Tom,

How about Euthycaelus?

I have checked some males that was labeled as H. sp. VENEZUELA and H. inflatus.
They differs clearly from Schismatothele by all the described features (GUADANUCCI & WEINMANN 2014)

two rows of thick spines at palpal tibia (1)
bulb elongated,
subtegulum separated from tegulum (2)
tibial apophysis with retrolateral branch very long (3)

All the males have the typical ventral keel (2), which distinguishes E. colonicus from the other species.

But maybe you have another "H. sp. VENEZUELA" over there.
