Synonymization of Simplomeris View in CoL under Glomeris .

Aside from their telopods, there is little support for a subfamily Haploglomerinae (e.g. Oeyen & Wesener 2015; 2018). Based on the COI barcoding data, S. montivaga is clearly another local endemic of the G. klugii species-group. Nevertheless, given the unique telopods of Simplomeris and the still limited ( Oeyen & Wesener 2018) morphological and genetical knowledge of Glomeris and related genera, it is probably better to keep the genus Simplomeris as a valid genus until more data becomes available.
