NERUDIA View in CoL View at ENA , NEW GENUS
TYPE SPECIES: Nerudia atacama , new species.
ETYMOLOGY: The generic name honors the Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. Gender feminine.
DIAGNOSIS: See Diagnosis of single species.
DESCRIPTION: See Description of single species.
GENERIC RELATIONSHIPS: The genus may be close to several other New World genera of short-legged pholcids with globular opisthosoma, especially with Gertschiola and Kambiwa with which it shares the ventral apophysis on the bulb (figs. 335, 338, 346, 353). Otherwise, however, the genitalia in these genera are quite distinct. The genus is very similar to the Old World genus Ninetis , but differs by the presence of stridulatory files on the male chelicerae.
DISTRIBUTION/COMPOSITION: Only type species, from Atacama, Chile.
