Brasiliogovea Martens, 1969 is a genus of the family Neogoveidae which during the last decades was widely misspelled as "Brasilogovea" until the original spelling has been recovered in 2015.
Abbreviated logonymy from WCO[]
• Brasiliogovea Martens 1969: 112 [junior subjective synonym of Neogovea Hinton, 1938 by Shear (1980: 15); synonymy disclaimed by Giribet et al. (2012: 116)]. Type-species by original designation: Brasiliogovea microphaga Martens, 1969.
Brasiliogovea – Edwards & Tobias 1993: 76; Giupponi & Kury 2015: 2 (original spelling noted); Benavides et al. 2019: 112 (gen. tax. disc.), 114 (diagn., compos.).
“Brasilogovea” [anoplonym]: Shear 1977: 165. ‡ Subsequent ameletograph of Brasiliogovea Martens, 1969, therefore nomenclaturally unavailable.
“Brasilogovea” – Shear 1980: 15; Giribet 2000: xxx; Giribet et al., 2012: 116; Benavides & Giribet 2013: 8.
Etymology[]
From Latin toponym Brasilia (Brazil) + pre-existing genus Ogovea. Gender feminine.
Placement[]
Originally in Sironidae Stylocellinae. Transferred to Neogoveidae into the synonymy of Neogovea by Shear (1980). Revalidated by Giribet et al. (2012).
Included species[]
- Brasiliogovea microphaga Martens, 1969 [type by original designation]
- Brasiliogovea chiribiqueta Benavides & Giribet, 2013
Diagnosis[]
(from Benavides & Giribet, 2013)
Opisthosomal middorsal longitudinal sulcus inconspicuous. Coxae of legs I free; coxae of legs II–IV fused, as in Huitaca, Neogovea, and Metagovea, but readily distinguishing Brasilogovea from Canga and Metasiro. Adenostyle ending in a brush of setae, as in Neogovea and distinguishing it fromthe genera Huitaca and Metagovea, with lamelliform adenostyles, and located toward the center of the dorsal side of tarsus IV. Sternum present, as in some Neogovea, but unlike Huitaca and Metagovea. Sternites 8 and 9 and tergite IX all fused into a corona analis, distinguishing it from Metasiro. Opisthosomal exocrine glands present, as in Metagovea and Huitaca, distinguishing it from Neogovea, Canga, and Metasiro. Spermatopositor with a semicircular ventral plate and two curved movable fingers protected by long microtrichiae and an elongated flat dorsal plate with expanding bilobed tip, not cuticularized.
