| Abstract | |
The genus Metalibitia Roewer, 1912, is revised for the first time, and a cladistic analysis revealed that it is a monophyletic clade. This cosmetid harvestmen genus is restricted to open forests and adjacent vegetational formations in South America (humid Forest, being found mostly in the region of cerrado/chaco/pampas). An identification key for all known species is presented and a new species is described, Metalibitia abuna sp. nov. (type locality: Abuna, Porto Velho, Rondonia, Brazil). Two species, Paralibitia maculata Roewer, 1914 and Labrosa arenosa Mello-Leitao, 1939, are here synonymized under Metalibitia argentina (Sorensen, 1884). (AU) | |
