Meristacarus View in CoL Grandjean, 1934

Meristacarus Grandjean, 1934, p. 35, figs. 7-10.

The genus Meristacarus is similar to Lohmannia in many characters, but differs by the unidivided genital plates and the hairless anals; the lateral borders of the hysterosoma are, moreover, much less parallel than in other genera of the family.

The type of the genus is M. porcula Grandjean (1934), a species from Martinique and Panama.
