Type species.

Lumieria antonionii gen. et. sp. nov., by present designation.

Diagnosis.

Lumieria gen. nov. can be distinguished from all other Metasarcidae genera by the combination of following: Kappa-type DSS; area I divided; ocularium medially depressed, with two high tubercles, area III with two spines; posterior margin and free tergites with one or two higher tubercles; femur IV much longer than dorsal scutum length; penis VP and stylus robust and thick in lateral view; conspicuous dry-marks on the carapace, grooves of DS and free tergites.

Description.

Kappa-type DSS, with constriction I well marked and constriction II absent. Coda undefined, coalescing with mid-bulge. Ocularium low, medially depressed. Ocularium unarmed, small tuberculate or smooth. Areas of dorsal scutum small to moderately tuberculate. Area I divided in two halves. Area III armed with two high spines. Posterior margin armed with one or a pair of high tubercles. Coda short, without constriction. Coxa IV reaching area IV or posterior margin. Coxa IV unarmed (Figs 6A, B, 24C, E). Femur IV much longer than dorsal scutum length (Figs 11C-F, 24C, E). Less than 10 macrosetae C. Penis stylus elongate, robust, very thick and flattened latterally (with a almost subrectangular or claviform appearance in the lateral view), with apical or subapical projections. Penis VP thick in lateral view, with dorsal side with a robust curvature resulting in a laterally convex appearance (Figs 14A, B, 17D-F).

Derivatio nominis.

The genus name, a noun in the nominative singular, is derived from Auguste Marie Louis Nicholas Lumière (1862-1954) and Louis Jean Lumière (1864-1948), the Lumière brothers, who were the inventors of cinematograph, being frequently referred like the parents of the “Cinema” . Gender feminine.
