Syn. n.</p><p>Type species: Eusarcus armatus Perty 1833, designated subsequently by Roewer (1913).</p><p>Redescription: Male: Dorsum: Paramedian apophyses on anterior margin of scutum, located ectally to chelicera (exceptions: E. catharinensis, E. sooretamae, E. teresincola, E. caparaoensis sp. n., E. mirabilis sp. n. and E. tripectinatus sp. n.). Ocularium with several similar-sized tubercles (unarmed), or a pair of large tubercles, or a pair of spines, or a median apophysis (bifid or not). Dorsal scutum with five transversal grooves delimiting four scutal areas. Scutal area I medially divided; III with a median spine (exceptions are E. gemignanii, E. uruguayensis and E. sergipanus sp. n. unarmed). Body shape pyriform, wider between groove I and grooves IV and V (close to each other). Lateral margin of dorsal scutum with an external regular row of tubercles increasing in size posteriorly, and with one to two internal, irregular rows. Posterior margin of dorsal scutum with a row of tubercles.</p><p>Chelicera: Segment I with scattered tubercles; II with setae irregularly concentrated at base of fixed finger, a group of setae on apical mesal face, both fingers toothed.</p><p>Pedipalpus: Trochanter inflated, with sparse tubercles dorsally; ventrally with a large prolateral tubercle bearing a seta, and with a small retrolateral tubercle; femur stretched, subcylindrical, with a prolateral subapical seta; patella smooth; tibia with variable spination, usually IiIi (prolateral and retrolateral) and tarsus idem, IIi (prolateral) and IiIi (retrolateral).</p><p>Legs: Coxa I with 1 prolateral, 1 retrolateral apophysis; II with 1 prolateral apophysis, 3 retrolateral apophyses fused at base, retrolateralmost fused at apex with prolateral apophysis of coxa III; III with 1 prolateral, 1 retrolateral apophysis fused at base; IV, irregularly tuberculate, with 1 prolateral apical apophysis more developed in male than female. Coxa IV surpassing dorsal scutum in dorsal view, being visible in all its extension or visible only apically. Trochanter IV with prolateral apophyses. Femora I–II straight, III–IV sinuous, all with tubercles arranged approximately in six longitudinal rows: a prodorsal and a retrodorsal row, a proventral and a retroventral row, a prolateral and a retrolateral row. Distitarsi I–II always 3-segmented. Metatarsi III–IV with 2 ventro-apical setae. Tarsal segmentation: 5–7(3); + 6(3); 6; 6–7.</p><p>Female: Mostly same as male, coxa IV shorter than in male (ending between grooves III and IV) and usually visible in dorsal view, surpassing dorsal scutum only apically; with prolateral apical apophysis shorter than in male. Trocanther IV unarmed on prolateral face.</p><p>Remarks on females: Females in this genus have the same general aspect as males except for apophyses and high, pointed tubercles on the legs and except for the penial morphology, which are important characters for identifying species. Thus, few morphological structures allow for correctly identifying female specimens of a given species. We have to rely on: the presence and size of the paramedian pair of apophyses on the anterior margin of the prosoma, located ectally to the chelicera; height and ornamentation of the ocularium; amount and positions of tubercles on the scutum; size of apical spines on the femora; inclination, size and shape of the spine in scutal area III; size and inclination of the prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV. When the dorsal scuta of different species are similar, females are virtually impossible to distinguish, as is the case in E. hastatus and E. dubius . Since the females of three species are unknown and some species cannot be distinguished only by characteristics of the dorsal scutum, it is at present impossible to elaborate a precise identification key for females.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387E59549467CFF65FB928BAEFA8D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, it is possible to distinguish both species based on the curvature of the prolateral apical apophysis of trochanter IV. Femur IV may show enlarged tubercles in mid-dorsal area and a ventral row of pointed, low tubercles.</p><p>Variation in females (n=6): Measurements: SL 3.60–4.10; SMW 3.00–3.60; femur I 1.60–2.00; II 3.10– 3.60; III 2.30–2.80; IV 2.80–3.40.

Coloration: When alive, it has the same color as the male, with light brown spots next to the ocularium.</p><p>Taxonomical notes: The identity of E. armatus is unclear. The lost holotype is a female, therefore its description and illustration do not allow for proper identification. Koch (1839b) was the only researcher who studied this material again, and he redescribed the species adding three more specimens (including a male) from different museums. Roewer (1913) examined the material studied by Koch except for the holotype. The holotype probably had been lost by that time, and he redescribed the species and added more specimens from Rio de Janeiro (Petrópolis) and São Paulo. Comparing descriptions by Koch and Roewer, we found conspicuous differences: In Koch (1839b), E. armatus shows a rectangular projection on coxa IV and spines on tibia IV, these being absent in the redescription by Roewer. Considering that all the type material is now lost, we can only state that E. armatus, as “redescribed” by Koch, resembles E. nigrimaculatus (or one of the three new species which belong to the clade E. alpinus +), whereas E. armatus as “redescribed” by Roewer, is similar to E. curvispinosus (or E. montis). The specimens identified as E. armatus in the collection of Roewer belong to the same species as the specimens identified as E. curvispinosus by Mello-Leitão. Considering that: (i) the original description by Perty is insufficient and the corresponding female holotype was lost; (ii) the male of this species was identified in a doubtful manner; (iii) the material examined by Koch is lost; and (iv) that the description by Koch does not allow to identify the species; we decided to accept the redescription by Roewer as valid for the identity of E. armatus in order to keep nomenclatural stability. Since it is a wellestablished genus name in the literature, it is important that a recognizable type species exists. Therefore, we designate the type of E. curvispinosus as the neotype of E. armatus .</p><p>Type localities: BRAZIL. Of E. armatus: without further data. Of E. curvispinosus: Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis. Of E. montis: Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis.</p><p>Geographical distribution (Fig. 49B): SE Brazil.

After examination of specimens from several localities including the type localities, we concluded that the morphological differences among these holotypes are, in fact, due to intraspecific variation. Although the holotype of E. tripos is lost, specimens largely corresponding to the holotype description and collected near the type locality (Poço Grande, Jupuvura, São Paulo) were considered as representative of this “species”. Although the armature of the ocularium of these specimens does not correspond to the original description, it is not very different from the instraspecific morphological variation mentioned above, which thus justifies synonymy with E. catharinensis .</p><p>Although we have not examined the male holotype of M. trochanterspinosus, its description is precise enough and matches perfectly with the male specimen from vial MZSP 1337, collected at the type locality of M. trochanterspinosus . This material is important, because once we had reliable specimens of this species, we could evaluate whether it is a valid species or not. Comparing female specimens of M. trochanterspinosus with the female holotype of M. catharinensis, which is the type species of Metagraphinotus, we concluded that they belong to the same genus and species. It is noteworthy to mention that females of this species are among the few that can be identified to the species level.</p><p>Comparing further specimens of M. catharinensis and E. perpusillus, we verified that they are conspecific, the former differing from the latter only regarding armature of the ocularium, which is developed as a median spine. On examining male gentalia from both “species”, we verified that they also lie within the range of intraspecific variation, all possessing the dorsal glans projection, a character previously considered as autapomorphic for E. perpusillus . Under these circumstances, there are two options: (i) assume that there are two different species, probably sister species, or (ii) assume that there is one species, with a variation in the ocularium. Considering that these “species” are sympatric, and that E. perpusillus has morphological variation in the ocularium, we chose the second alternative. Therefore, we can conclude that E. catharinensis has a polymorphic ocularium, which can be unarmed, armed with 2 tubercles, 2 spines or with a median spine.</p><p>Type localities: Brazil. Of M. catharinensis: Santa Catarina. Of E. antoninae: Paraná, Antonina. Of E. perpusillus: Santa Catarina, Rodeio. Of E. tripos: São Paulo, Jupuvura.

To evaluate whether these two species can be distinguished morphometrically, we used three statistical analyses. The data used are given in table 4 and results in table 5.</p><p>Cluster analysis: Only a single specimen collected in a cave was grouped in group 1 (" E. aduncus "). This can be due to the specimen being a beta male and not showing the characteristic proportions of alpha males. Alternatively, we can imagine that this is an “anomalous” specimen whose proportions do not reflect the group to which it belongs. Performing the same statistical analysis without this specimen, the same groupings were obtained. We also used “box-plot” graphics (Fig. 11) to describe the quartile, maximum and minimum values of the variables by grouping.</p><p>MANOVA and Student´s t test: MANOVA indicates that the means of all used measures are significantly different between the two species (Wilk´s Lambda=0.116, F 6, 54 =68.85, p&lt;0.0001) and this is corroborated by the Student´s t test. Therefore, we concluded that E. aduncus and E. cavernicola sp. n. are two species (see table 5) which are recognizable and morphometrically different, i.e. E. cavernicola sp. n. has relatively longer legs.</p><p>......continued on the next page</p><p>Wilk´s Lambda=0.116, F6,54=68.85, p&lt;0.0001; n E.aduncus =28; n E. cavernicola =33</p><p>Although E. cavernicola sp. n. exhibits hypertely of legs and pedipalps we cannot classify it as a troglobitic harvestman species because it inhabits karstic areas with independent geological histories (Gnaspini &amp; Hoenen 1999). In this case, it is possible that what we know as E. cavernicola sp. n. is actually an assembly of species that cannot be recognized by external and genitalic features. Therefore two hypotheses need to be tested in the future: (i) E. cavernicola sp. n. is really a single species or (ii) E. cavernicola sp. n. is an assembly of troglobite species that can only be recognized by other techniques (such as molecular analysis). Only after testing these hypotheses one will be able to decide if the hypertely of the legs and pedipalps is a preadaptation or the result of a cave adaptation process.</p><p>Type locality: Brazil, Goiás, São Domingos, Parque Estadual de Terra Ronca, Lapa do Passa Três .</p><p>Geographical distribution (Fig. 50B): Caves in central Brazil.

However, further examinations, including more material from many localities, indicated that they actually belong to the same species with a high degree of polymorphism in many features, such as armature of ocularium (Fig. 20A,B), spine of scutal area III, apophyses and tubercles on leg IV (Fig. 20C–I). The variation among various populations of this species is summarized in Figures 52 and 53. Considering that: (i) these variable characters show intermediate forms between two extremes and (ii) the impossibility to establish a combination of these characters to distinguish two or more species, besides lack of autapomorphy to characterize those species, we concluded that this is a single species with strong morphological variation. This is: Ocularium with a pair of large, blunt or pointed tubercles, 1 pair of spines, 1 pair of clearly separated spines which bases are very close to each other, idem but sitting on a short apophysis, 1 bifid spine, 1 robust spine; median spine of scutal area III ranging from medium (not surpassing groove V) to short (not surpassing groove IV) in size and completely absent only in few specimens; tarsal I segmentation 5 or 6; coxa IV ending between grooves III and IV or near groove V; trochanter IV with or without conical prolateral apical apophysis; amount, size and space between the high tubercles in pro and retrolateral rows on femur IV; presence or absence of two ventral rows of tubercles increasing in size and ending in 2 apical spines on tibia IV. Soares &amp; Soares (1985) synonymized Metapucrolia armata with E. argentinus based on penis morphology and great variation of armature on femur IV. However, this synonymy is doubtful because these authors relied heavily on a proposal by Ringuelet (1959) regarding polymorphysm of the armature of leg IV. This author recorded great variation in the armature of femur IV in E. argentinus, which was verified in specimens from southern and southeastern Brazil and type material of Eusarcus deposited in other collections. However, we were not able to verify the forms shown in figures 1 and 2 of Ringuelet (1959), which considerably differ from the original description of E. argentinus by the absence of a retrolateral apical apophysis of trochanter IV and of a prolateral row of pointed tubercles on femur IV. Therefore, it is probable that Metapucrolia armata belongs to Eusarcus, but it may not be identical to E. argentinus .</p><p>Type localities: Brazil. Of E. hastatus: Minas Gerais, Lagoa Santa, Lapa Vermelha. Of E. guimaraensi: São Paulo, Barretos, Colômbia. Of E. biserratus: Minas Gerais, Perdões. Of J. pectinifemur: São Paulo, Pirassununga. Of E. maquinensis: Minas Gerais, Cordisburgo, Caverna Maquiné. Argentina. Of C. canalsi: Buenos Aires. Paraguay. Of P. argentina: without further data. Of N. pectinigera: Puerto Bertoni. In the descriptions of P. argentina, N. pectinigera and E. biserratus the type localities are given as “ Argentinien: Steppen”, “ Argentinien (Bahia Blanca)” and “ Brazil: São Paulo: São Sebastião” and differ from the toponyms written on the labels. We considered those on the labels as the correct ones.</p><p>Geographical distribution (Fig. 52): Paraguay, Argentina (Buenos Aires), and SE to S Brazil (from Minas Gerais to Rio Grande do Sul).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387E595184621FF65FE358813FE43	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Tarsal segmentation: 6, 7–9, 6, 6.</p><p>Taxonomical notes: The type material of E. nigrimaculatus is probably lost. In the original description Mello-Leitão mentioned that the male holotype was deposited in his private collection, and that at least one paratype was deposited in the W.S. Bristowe collection (depository unknown, maybe in the British Museum of Natural History), all of them having been collected in Minas Gerais, Diamantina, by W.S. Bristowe. In the redescriptions that followed there were only references to males. However, in the redescription of 1932 Mello-Leitão mentioned and illustrated this species using a female. Since no reference was made to a female until that moment, we can deduce that the female specimen was added after the original description. Therefore, the female cannot be considered as belonging to the type material .</p><p>B. Soares (1945c), in his catalogue of Opiliones deposited in the collection of the MNRJ, stated that there were three vials labeled as E. nigrimaculatus, two of them with two specimens each with the same number (# 1439), and one (# 58329) with five specimens from Rio de Janeiro collected by R. Arlé. He also stated that one of the # 1439 vials has a label indicating that the material was also collected in Rio de Janeiro by R. Arlé, the other having no label. Although no material in the collection from MNRJ could be recognized with certainty as type material of E. nigrimaculatus, Soares &amp; Soares (1954b) stated that the specimens of vial # 1439 should be the type material. They also stated that the same material (# 1439) should be the type material of E. minensis . The assumption that vial #1439 could contain the type material of E. nigrimaculatus also seems to have passed unnoticed by Kury (2003a). When we examined vial # 1439, there were only two females instead of four specimens, differing from the statement of B. Soares (1945c). To worsen the confusion, it has been registered in the MNRJ records that E. de Moraes Mello collected the material instead of R. Arlé.</p><p>Considering the problems above and that these specimens are the oldest ones of E. nigrimaculatus, we assumed that this is the material used by Mello-Leitão (1932) for his redescription of E. nigrimaculatus, although we do not consider them as type material.</p><p>It was not possible to verify the synonymy of E. minensis with E. nigrimaculatus because the male holotype of the latter has been lost. The first redescription of E. nigrimaculatus is not very informative, but we could deduce that it differs from E. minensis in apophyses of trochanter IV and armature of legs II and IV. Removing E. minensis from the synonymy of E. nigrimaculatus would leave us with a species that cannot be identified at this moment, and therefore we decided to maintain the status quo.</p><p>In turn, E. minensis is similar to E. furcatus, and the observed differences in the respective holotypes (such as the size of the anterior lobe of the bifurcated apex of the apohysis of trochanter IV, and the size of the small apophysis placed at the base of its apophysis) fit perfectly into the range of intraspecific variation. Thus, we decided to synonymize E. furcatus under E. nigrimaculatus .</p><p>The holotype of O. armata is a specimen that perfectly corresponds to E. nigrimaculatus, and the different number of scutal areas on the dorsal scutum given in Roewer´s description is a mistake. Thus, E. nigrimaculatus can be considered as a senior synonym of O. armata, which received the replacement name E. organensis by Kury (2003a) to avoid secondary homonymy with the type species of Eusarcus Perty 1833 .</p><p>The holotype of P. corniculatus Roewer 1929 is similar to specimens of E. nigrimaculatus, except for an atypical variation in area IV (Fig. 27A). All the other characteristics, including those of the genitalia, are the same.</p><p>Type localities: Brazil. Of E. nigrimaculatus: Minas Gerais, Diamantina. Of E. minensis: Minas Gerais, Ouro Preto. Of E. furcatus: Mato Grosso. Of P. corniculatus: Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre. Of O. armata: Rio de Janeiro, Teresópolis, Serra dos Órgãos. Of P. centromelos: Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Bico do Papagaio. Of E. geniculatus: Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis. In Mello-Leitão 1932, the type locality of E. minensis is given as Caxambu, but we consider the locality given on the label as the type locality. The type localities of E. furcatus and P. corniculatus are considered as incorrect because they are very far from the other localities. Besides, it is known that some locality data provided by Roewer are not trustworthy (Pinto-da-Rocha 2002).</p><p>Geographical distribution (Fig. 49A): Brazil.

Guadanucci, professor at Universidade Federal do Vale do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, Diamantina. We conclude that these are, in fact, the same species, because of similarities in the ocularium, apical spines of femora, density of tubercles on the dorsal scutum, shape, size and inclination of the median spine in area III and body size. The original description by Sørensen refers to two prolateral subapical setae on the femur of the pedipalpus, which led to the creation of a new genus ( Eusarcoides Roewer 1913). However, this characteristic, which occurs in only one of the syntypes, is a rare morphological variation that can be found also in other specimens of the population, and is not restricted to E. pusillus . The new synonymy is proposed although females of some species are similar to each other and difficult to identify with certainty. In others, such as E. alpinus, E. didactylus, E. geometricus, E. nigrimaculatus and E. catharinensis, females can be clearly distinguished from each other.</p><p>Type localities: Brazil.

Unfortunately, illustrations of apophyses as well as the width of coxa IV provided by Roewer were inaccurate. Thus Kury (2003b) was misled to propose an unlikely association. Although no member of Pherania was included in any cladistic analysis, it is improbable that this genus is closely related to Antetriceras, since the former does not have the synapomorphies of Eusarcus, such as a median spine in scutal area III or a paramedian pair of apophyses placed ectally to the chelicera on the anterior margin of the dorsal scutum.</p><p>Type locality: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro (?). Precising the exact type locality of this species is a difficult task. When Roewer described the species, he only stated “Terra Vermelha”, a very common name that occurs in many places of Brazil. On the basis of the localities and information from the collector, Kury (2003a) gave “ Santa Catarina, Seara, Terra Vermelha” as the type locality. However, we verified that it is clearly written “ Rio de Janeiro ” on the label of the holotype. Although risky, considering the distribution of species closely related to A. signatus, we suggest the city of Rio de Janeiro as the probable exact locality .</p><p>Geographical distribution: Known only from the type locality.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387E5953F460EFF65F9E089E3F9FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The redescription provided by Roewer (1913) is not precise enough to conclude whether it is a valid species or not. The only way to decide it, is to carefully examine the type material, with an emphasis on fine details of tubercles and spines on the dorsal scutum and of apophyses on trochanter IV; apical spines of femora (especially prolateral, retrolateral and proventral rows of tubercles) and male genitalia. A replacement name is proposed to avoid secondary homonymy with E. armatus Perty 1833 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387E5952F461DFF65F8D38BD3FD83	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
