Genus Plectanocnema Schmitz View in CoL View at ENA
Plectanocnema Schmitz, 1926: 75 View in CoL .
This genus currently only includes the type species, P. nudipes View in CoL . Schmitz (1956) provided a detailed diagnosis. However, he stated that there were the usual bristles at the sides of the scutum. In fact there are many more than usual, there being at least six notopleurals plus some smaller bristles adjacent to these along the inner margin of the notopleuron. The presence of a notopleural gland in a cleft was subsequently added to the diagnosis for the male ( Disney, 1994). This feature plus the multiple hair palisades of the hind tibia are clearly apomorphic features. The two features in combination along with an extra pair of dorsolateral glands behind abdominal tergite 5 of the female are the principal autapomorphies of this genus.
