Item Chilehexops, a new funnelweb mygalomorph spider genus from Chile (Araneae, Dipluridae). American Museum novitates ; no. 2860(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1986) Coyle, Frederick A."A new genus, Chilehexops, is established for the diplurid spiders Accola australis Mello-Leitão and a new species, C. platnicki, both from Chile. Chilehexops, which appears to be allied to the Euagrinae, is characterized by an elongate male palpal tibia, heavily sclerotized spermathecal trunks, the absence of posterior median eyes, and the absence of mating spurs, apophyses, or keels on the legs of males. Diagnoses, descriptions, illustrations, and locality records are provided for both species"--P. [1].Item Contributions to arachnid systematics in honor of Willis J. Gertsch, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 170, article 1(New York : American Museum of Natural History, 1981) Gertsch, Willis John, 1906-; Kaston, B. J.

American Museum novitates ; no. 2794(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1984) Coyle, Frederick A."The African diplurid genus Allothele, containing species which have been erroneously placed in the American genus Euagrus, is redefined to include those diplurids with fully setae-lined spermathecal trunks, a non-terminal male tibia II mating apophysis with stout toothlike apical and subapical spines, and a male metatarsus II mating apophysis without multiple keels. A cladogram, key, diagnoses, descriptions, illustrations, scanning electron micrographs, locality records, and map are provided for the five known species of Allothele. Euagrus regnardi Benoit is transferred to Allothele. One new species, A. malawi, is described"--P. [1].Item A revision of the American funnel-web mygalomorph spider genus Euagrus (Araneae, Dipluridae). Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 187, article 3([New York] : American Museum of Natural History, 1988) Coyle, Frederick A."The American diplurid genus Euagrus, distributed from Arizona south to Costa Rica, is revised for the first time. Euagrus is defined to include those euagrine diplurids with the following character states: no australotheline crescent; terminal cymbial spines; interlocking spinule patches on male femora I and II; a ventral, proximal, nonspatulate, tibia II mating apophysis with one or more large apical spines; two or three ventral mating keels on metatarsus II; no macrosetae brush on the prolateral surface of male tibia II; and two or more sclerotized stalks with unsclerotized bulbs on each (unsclerotized) spermathecal trunk. The relationships of Euagrus to other euagrine genera are discussed. A cladogram (based on outgroup comparison with the sister genus, Phyxioschema), a key, diagnoses, descriptions, tables of quantitative character values, illustrations, analyses of variation, natural history information, locality records, and distribution maps are provided for the 20 recognized species of Euagrus. Eight of these species are newly described: E. carlos, E. charcus, E. garnicus, E. gertschi, E. gus, E. leones, E. rothi, and E. zacus. Six specific names are newly synonymized: E. ravenus Gertsch and Mulaik, E. apacheus Gertsch and Mulaik, and E. ritaensis Chamberlin and Ivie with E. chisoseus Gertsch; E. empiricus Chamberlin and E. scepticus Chamberlin with E. josephus Chamberlin; and E. pragmaticus Chamberlin with E. rubrigularis Simon"--P. 205.Item A revision of the funnelweb mygalomorph spider subfamily Ischnothelinae (Araneae, Dipluridae). Bulletin of the AMNH ; no. 226([New York] : American Museum of Natural History, 1995) Coyle, Frederick A."The tropical diplurid spider subfamily Ischnothelinae is revised for the first time. The monophyly of this subfamily is supported by six putative synapomorphies: an elongate cymbial apophysis, two rows of cheliceral teeth, a procurved transverse fovea, collariform trichobothrial bases, fused silk spigots, and long, tapering, pseudosegmented terminal posterior lateral spinneret articles. Five genera are recognized: Ischnothele Ausserer (with 11 species in South America, Central America, and the Antilles), Andethele, new genus (with 3 species in the Andes Mountains of Peru), Lathrothele Benoit (with 4 species in Africa), Indothele, new genus (with 4 species in India and Sri Lanka), and Thelechoris Karsch (with 2 species in Africa and Madagascar). Phylogenies (based on cladistic analyses using two different sets of outgroups), biogeographic hypotheses, a key, diagnoses, descriptions, tables of quantitative character values, illustrations, analyses of variation, natural history information, locality records, and distribution maps are presented for the 24 recognized species. The cladistic analyses provide strong support for the monophyly of the Old World branch of the subfamily, the genera Andethele and Thelechoris, and the Greater Antillean and South American (goloboffi) clades of Ischnothele, and weaker or ambiguous support for the monophyly of Ischnothele, Lathrothele, and Indothele. Ten species are newly described: Ischnothele jeremie, I. garcia, I. huambisa, and I. goloboffi; Andethele lucma, A. huanca, and A. tarma; Indothele lanka, I. rothi, and I. mala. Fourteen specific names are newly synonymized: Ischnothele ecuadorensis Schmidt with Ischnothele digitata (O.P.-Cambridge); Entomothele pusilla Simon, Thelechoris zebrina Simon, Thelechoris funesta Fischel, Thelechoris obtusa Fischel, and Ischnothele sexpunctata Bücherl, da Costa, and Lucas with Ischnothele caudata Ausserer; Ischnothele siemensi F.O.P.-Cambridge with Ischnothele guianensis (Walckenaer); Ischnothele indigens Vellard, Ischnothele zorodes Mello-Leitão, Ischnothele campestris Schiapelli and Gerschman, Ischnothele affinis Schiapelli and Gerschman, and Ischnothele cranwelli Gerschman and Schiapelli with Ischnothele annulata Tullgren; Lathrothele marmoratus Benoit with Lathrothele grabensis Benoit; and Thelechoris karschi Bösenberg and Lenz with Thelechoris striatipes (Simon). Several species previously placed in ischnotheline genera are not ischnothelines: Ischnothele annectens (Bertkau), Ischnothele simplicata Saito, Ischnothele strandi Spassky, Ischnothele lineata (Karsch), Ischnothele indicola Tikader, and Thelechoris australis Purcell. Evidence is presented that suggests that Ischnothele longicauda and Lathrothele grabensis may each consist of more than one species and that Thelechoris rutenbergi and T. striatipes may be conspecific"--P. 3.
