A new species of Gerrhopilus (family: Gerrhopilidae), with comments on the taxonomic status of Gerrhopilus ater suturalis (Brongersma)

Abstract

The genus Gerrhopilus is briefly reviewed with a reevaluation of Gerrhopilus ater suturalis and its elevation to full species. In addition, a new species from Sumatra is described based on a single specimen, one of the three species of Gerrhopilus having both an inferior preocular and inferior ocular, and further distinguishable by the supralabial overlap pattern.
