The kwabuniense group

Diagnosis

Species of Eviulisoma in which male sternum 6 is deeply excavated with unlobed margins, there is an intermediate acropodital process and the solenophore is a relatively open sheet with mostly three, more rarely two apical lobes.

The included species furthermore share a hypoproct with three prominent marginal tubercles. Most of the species are apparently pallid (although fading of colour cannot be excluded), only E. akkariae sp. nov., which is also larger than the others, having a distinct ringed colour pattern.

Included species:

E. kwabuniense Kraus, 1958

E. acaciae sp. nov.

E. aequilobatum sp. nov.

E. akkariae sp. nov.

E. cetafi sp. nov.

E. chitense sp. nov.

E. commelina sp. nov.

E. ejti sp. nov.

E. kalimbasiense sp. nov.

E. navuncus sp. nov.

E. nessiteras sp. nov.

E. ottokrausi sp. nov.

E. alluaudi Brolemann, 1920 , E. jeanneli Brolemann, 1920 , and E. silvaticum Attems, 1953 , may also be tentatively included in this group, based on published descriptions ( Attems 1953; Brolemann 1920; Jeekel 2003; VandenSpiegel & Golovatch 2014).
