Apulvillasilus Camargo, Vieira & Fisher View in CoL

Apulvillasilus Camargo, Vieira & Fisher, 2022 View in CoL . Type species: Apulvillasilus boharti Camargo, Vieira & Fisher, 2022 View in CoL (original designation). Type locality: Argentina, Catamarca Province, Belén.

Remarks.

The monotypic genus Apulvillasilus was recently described and illustrated from Argentina. The genus shares with Atractocoma Artigas the body covered with abundant squamiform-fusiform setae but can be easily differentiated by the frons with divergent slopes and the legs lacking empodium and pulvillus (a unique condition among the Myaptex group).
