Abstract

CRUZ-LOPEZ, Jesús A.  and  FRANCKE, Oscar F.. On the identity of Metaconomma femorale (Opiliones: Laniatores) and its correct family placement. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2019, vol.90, e902881.  Epub Sep 09, 2019. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2019.90.2881.

In this work, the holotype of Metaconomma femorale Pickard-Cambridge, 1905 was revised. As a result, the genus Metaconomma Pickard-Cambridge, 1905, a member of the infraorder Grassatores with uncertain family placement, is proposed as a junior synonym of Hoplobunus Banks, 1900 in Stygnopsidae, with the new combination Hoplobunus femoralis comb. nov.
