First synonymised by Simon 1903: 953.</p><p>Diagnosis: With ovoid lyra on anterior face of maxillae which may be reduced or absent, legs weakly spinose, if at all; males lacking coupling spurs on tibia I.</p><p>Remarks: The placement of taxa which lack a maxillary lyra (e. g., Yamia; see Haupt and Schmidt 2004) within the Selenocosmiinae only presents a phylogenetic problem if the alyrate taxa are considered the sister group of all of the other lyrate species. However, if the lyra has been secondarily lost in Yamia then that species may be better placed in Phlogiellus . In either case, the monothetic definition of the subfamily remains an unresolved issue. No phylogenetic analysis has ever been presented which could resolve this question.</p><p>Curiously, Simon (1892) diagnosed the tribes Phlogieae (and others) as differing from Selenocosmieae in that at least the posterior tarsi had the scopula divided by setae but later (1903) rescinded the separation. Haupt and Schmidt (2004: 202) lept from that kind of distinction to a more generalised but unsupported conclusion about the value of the division of the tarsal scopula: " Certain characters do not seem to be very useful for classification: Simon (1892) followed by Raven (1985) used the division of metatarsal and tarsal scopulae to distinguish different genera. " In fact, Raven (1985) never used the division of the metatarsal scopula but its extent and the tarsal division was not used to distinguish between genera (no diagnoses of theraphosid genera were provided) but in an identification key in which the differing states of the tarsal scopula were accommodated by having the genus appear twice in the overall key, e. g. Ischnocolus appeared in Group I and Group II. Furthermore, in a paper presented to the International Congress of Arachnology, Ghent, 2004, Guadanucci (in press) showed unequivocally that the division of the tarsal scopula is informative, provided it is not used to identify juveniles.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/785FAD8B3F23144876A32FE04397F386	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Type species by original designation and monotypy, Phlogius cunicularius Simon 1892 . Type in Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, examined [N. B.: reviewers of this paper, von Wirth &amp; Striffler have two specimens in the vial of the type species; when I examined the material in 1983 in Paris, there was only one and only one was mentioned by Simon (1892)].</p><p>Diagnosis: Differs from Selenocosmia in having the maxillary lyra consisting of long shafted paddles with long distal blades (Figs 14, 23). Coremiocnemis is a selenocosmiine theraphosid with intercheliceral peg spines (Figs 6, 37), maxillary lyra consisting of long paddles with long distal blades (Figs 14, 23), cracked fourth tarsi, and a third claw on the fourth leg.</p><p>Type species: Phlogius cunicularius Simon 1892 .</p><p>Included species: Phlogius cunicularius Simon 1892; Coremiocnemis valida Pocock 1895; Coremiocnemis tropix sp. nov.</p><p>Distribution: Malaysia and tropical north-eastern Queensland, Australia.</p><p>Remarks: On the basis of 2 males and two adult females of Yamia watasei Kishida 1920, Haupt and Schmidt (2004: 202) concluded that the division of tarsal scopula (Figs 28-29) per se is not valid in the recognition of any theraphosid genera. However, the issue is by no means so clear and their denouncement is both oversimplified and insubstantial. Indeed, many theraphosids have the scopula of tarsi I integral and that of tarsi IV divided; Raven (1985) documented that anterior-posterior gradualism. However, a number of genera (e. g., Ischnocolus) also have the scopula of tarsi I–III also divided and that is consistent in adults. As noted by Raven (1994: 301), Raven (1985) incorrectly keyed only Coremiocnemis as having the intercheliceral peg spines and having tarsi IV integral; intercheliceral peg spines are also present in material presumed to be the type species of Selenocosmia, S. javanensis (Walckenaer 1837) (Schmidt and von Wirth 1995) but, in the absence of a holotype of the latter, Raven (2000) set the resurrection of Phlogius L. Koch (for the Australian species placed in Selenocosmia) aside pending a cladistic analysis of the group. Equally, a number of genera, including Coremiocnemis have the fourth tarsi cracked.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7AB1ADB018D2380B55AA9112166FDD3C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Uniform cover of long white wavy hairs; no setae or thorns.</p><p>Eyes: PLE clearly smaller than ALE but clearly bigger than PME, AME = ALE.</p><p>Maxillae (Fig. 23): as for female.</p><p>Labium: cuspules over 200 in band for two-fifths length anteriorly. Basal groove distinct; labiosternal groove not concave, flat with slight (anterior) rise, two separate, large sigilla.</p><p>Chelicerae: ectal lyrate area large, semicircular; intercheliceral spines basodorsally 4 thick and ca. 15 smaller.</p><p>Sternum (Fig. 22): profile saddle-like, high at back and front; posterior angle sharp, separates coxae IV but posterior edge easily seen, sloping gradually. Marginal thorns absent. Prostrate hair mat between bristles strong, dense. Pedicel and sternum edges form clear boundary in elevation and setation, pedicel edge pallid.</p><p>Sigilla (Fig. 22): 3 pairs, posterior 1.6 - 3 lengths apart; ca. 0.7 - 0.8 of length from margin; middle pair about half size of posterior; within 1 length of margin; anterior pair distinct.</p><p>Legs (Fig. 20): leg I clearly thicker than IV but II subequal. Basifemoral thorns absent on all. Femora I, II prolaterally with long bushy fine hairs. Femur III distinctly incrassate.</p><p>Coxae: no thorns prolaterodorsally on IV, basally anterior corner indistinct, edge curves dorsally, or rounded at interface. III, basally rectangular. Ventrally with weak thorns on prolateral face of I–II . Ventral surface of I–IV clearly curving or sloping forward; retrolaterally I–III with median narrow light brush, IV glabrous. III–IV with setose mound up from inner corner low mound with few bristles on III–IV . All retrolaterally without ventral ledge; ventral pilosity uniform.</p><p>Scopula: entire, dense on tarsi I–II; on metatarsi III ca. 0.8 - 0.9 of length, but with uniformly distributed (i. e., not a dividing line) long emergent hairs, but thin with long hairs; on tarsi III entire without emergents; on metatarsi IV for about three-quarters of distal length, divided by setal band 3-4 wide; on tarsi IV divided by long fawn brown hairs in band 4-7 wide. No scopula on proventral tibiae I–II .</p><p>Spines, metatarsi: I, 1 minute ventral or ventrolateral; II, 3 ventral; III, 3 ventral and 2 dorsolateral; IV, 3 ventral and 2 dorsolateral. Elsewhere absent.</p><p>Tarsal weakness: cracked tarsi dorsally evident on III–IV, to venter only on III–IV, pallid zone also on II.</p><p>Claws: third claw only on IV, paired claws on I–IV with 3-4 small teeth.</p><p>Male palp (Figs 24-27): embolus tip widely flared, flare only one-sided; twisted through 90 ° at tip. Relative length of palpal tibia about double length of bulb.</p><p>Distribution and Habitat. Known only from lowland rainforests in the Cairns region, Wet Tropics, Queensland, Australia.</p><p>Remarks. The inclusion of this new species in the otherwise Malaysian genus only reflects the unrevised status of many theraphosids from Australasia. Correct recognition of C. tropix sp. nov. using live material is only possible by the examination of the chelicerae of its exuviae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB0A588D4CED9C224EBAD26AD1BE604B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
