C57987DDE72EEA52EB04E7EDD23A51BE.taxon	description	Laterobasal Aculear Serrations (LAS) are absent in genus Graemeloweus. Fet, Soleglad & Brewer (2006: tab. 1) examined 80 species in family Vaejovidae stating whether a LAS is present and if so, the number of spines present (note, 33 of these were verified with SEM microscopy). Interestingly, most of the species in their study that lacked a LAS were contained in subfamily Vaejovinae (ten out of twelve), and a majority of these were in genera Pseudouroctonus and Uroctonites. Also of note, three species in Pseudouroctonus that exhibited a LAS were three closely related species, P. andreas, P. castaneus, and P. thompsoni.	en	Soleglad, Michael E., Fet, Victor, Graham, Matthew R., Ayrey, Richard F.

Found in northern California, USA (Butte, El Dorado, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama, Trinity, and Yuba Counties.).

C57987DDE737EA4CEB05E1E1D4E056CD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Orthobothriotaxic. Hemispermatophore median area equipped with a non-bifurcated primary lamellar hook and a secondary lamellar hook; mating plug is complex, possesses a two-part base, and a large asymmetric smooth edged barb. Chelal palm planes formed by carinae D 1 | D 3 | D 4 and V 1 | V 2 | V 3 are not subparallel, due to a well developed ventromedian (V 2) carina. Telson vesicle lacks ventral ridges at the aculeus juncture, subaculear setal pair located on vesicle / aculeus juncture, and vesicular linear patch not presence on the dorsal surface. Cheliceral movable and fixed fingers lack dentition and / or protuberances on their ventral surfaces. Ventral surface of leg tarsus with 1 – 2 distal spinule pairs. See Table 1 for measurements of these species.	en	Soleglad, Michael E., Fet, Victor, Graham, Matthew R., Ayrey, Richard F.
