Diphascon (Diphascon) nobilei ( Binda, 1969) View in CoL
( Figure 1 View Figure 1 ; Table I)
Material examined
Gela (Caltanissetta): holotype (slide N. 1118); Pietra Cannone (Mt Etna, Fornazzo): four specimens .
The description of the species is confirmed but we noted the presence of granules of pigment also in the position of the eyes. We suspect that in the description of Binda (1969) these granules were mistaken for eyes. The holotype is mounted in polyvinyl lactophenol and therefore it is not possible to solve this problem, it is therefore necessary to find other specimens.
In the description, Binda (1969) wrote that one accessory point is present on the main branches of the claws; we noted that the orientation of the claws makes it difficult to see the accessory points, but on one claw two accessory points seem to be present.
The claws have wide branches and, as a consequence, they appear stout ( Figure 1B, C View Figure 1 ); on the hind legs the basal portion of the claws is wide with well-visible basal spines; smaller basal spines are present on the claws (both external and internal) of the first three pairs of legs ( Figure 1B View Figure 1 ).
In Figure 1A View Figure 1 the bucco-pharyngeal apparatus is shown. In Table I the dimensions of some structures of the holotype are indicated.
