CALODIPOENA TARAUTENSIS BAERT 1988

( FIG. 130A )

Calodipoena tarautensis Baert, 1988: 17 , fig. 21

[female holotype and female paratype from Sulawesi ( Indonesia), Sulawesi Utara, Dumoga Bone National Park , Toraut, Grassland, 200 m, 27.x.1985, R. Bosman & J. Van Stalle, in IRSN (no. IG 26977 ), male unknown, female paratype examined].

Familial placement: Mysmenidae . As expected, this species grouped within one of the largest clades within Mysmeninae , which includes Calodipoena mootae , Mysmena leichhardti , Anjouanella , Microdipoena s.s., Mysmenella , and three undescribed species [ Mysmena - MYSM-015-MAD, MYSM-(029 034)-MAD]. Calodipoena tarautensis is known only from females, and shares with mysmenines several features, such as femoral spots on legs I and II, wide posterior tracheal spiracle, anterior tracheae, absence of epigynal plate, long scape, highly membranous and complex pattern of ducts in the vulva, absence of palpal claw but palp with all segments, and absence of pore-bearing depressions.
