Genus Neotridactylus Günther 1972 View in CoL
Type species
Neotridactylus carbonelli Günther 1972 View in CoL , by original monotypy.
Etymology:This genus was designated by Günther as encompassing all New World Tridactylidae View in CoL that were previously described under the genus Tridactylus Olivier 1789 View in CoL , except those he placed under Ellipes View in CoL . ‘Neo’ means new, and Tridactylus View in CoL comes from the Latin ‘tri’, three; ‘dactyl’ foot, referring to the distinctive ‘three-footed’ appearance of the hind tarsus and two elongated apical hind tibial spurs present in all members of this family.
