Chilocosmia Schmidt & von Wirth, 1992

Genus Chilocosmia Schmidt & von Wirth, 1992 stat. rev.

Type and included species.

C. dichromata Schmidt & von Wirth, 1992 , comb. rest., by original designation and monotypy.

Diagnosis.

Chilocosmia stat. rev. differs from all known selenocosmiine genera (i) in having a palpal organ with twisted tegulum (Figs 4 A – C View Figure 4 , 5 A – D View Figure 5 ) and (ii) in having a stridulatory organ on the prolateral maxilla with short bacilliform rods that form an arcuate strip of a lyrate patch and with club-shaped bacillae at lowest row (Fig. 3 D, E View Figure 3 ). The lyra of Chilocosmia stat. rev. (Fig. 3 D, E View Figure 3 ) quite resembles the lyra of Orphnaecus (Fig. 20 G View Figure 20 ) but differs in the shape of the largest stridulating setae which lacks a pointed apex (Fig. 20 C, F View Figure 20 ). It further differs from Orphnaecus in the male palpal organ morphology in having a twisted tegulum and a thicker embolus with shorter PS and lacking a basal lobe (Fig. 5 A – E View Figure 5 ), and in lacking palpal brush on dorsal palp in males (Fig. 4 D View Figure 4 ).

Distribution.

Indonesia: West New Guinea.

Etymology.

A combination of two Greek words chilos (cheilos; χείλος), which means lip, and kosmein (κοσμείν), which means arrange or keep in order ( Schmidt and von Wirth 1992). Gender is feminine.
