Type Material
Holotype: “Female holotype from Brownsville, Texas (H. S. Barber), in the United States National Museum” (Muma, 1951, p. 83).
Measurements: Female Holotype: Total Length, 16.0 mm. Chelicerae, 5.0 mm length; 2.0 mm width. Propeltidium, 2.0 mm length; 3.6 mm width. Palpi, 13.0 mm. 1st Legs, 10.0 mm. 4th Legs, 18.0 mm.
Ctenidia Description: “First post-spiracular abdominal sternite apparently without trace ctenidia” (Muma, 1951, p. 83).
Operculum Description: “Figure 141 shows the opercula of the genital segment of the abdomen” (Muma, 1951, p. 83).
Chelicerae Description: “Dentition of chelicerae as shown in figures 139 and 140. Movable finger with principal tooth large, anterior tooth about two-thirds as large as principal tooth, two intermediate teeth, of which the proximal is considerably larger, and a distinct mesal tooth. Fixed finger with principal tooth large, medial tooth large, anterior tooth moderately large, and two intermediate teeth behind principal tooth, two between principal and anterior teeth, and one between medial and anterior teeth that is more than half as large as anterior tooth. Mesal setae of movable finger plumose on the basal three-fourths of the articulation area but simple distally” (Muma, 1951, p. 83).
Diagnosis:
Other Information: “This species is placed in this genus on the basis of the fondal dentition which appears to be relatively constant for groups within the genera. It may prove to be the female of Eremothera sculpturata, new species, but the larger size of the two males seen seems to exclude this possibility” (Muma, 1951, p. 83, 85).
