Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2008 7:29 pm Post subject: Infraorder: CA Mygalomorphae; 5 Fam 11 Gen 28 Sp (non tara)
There are over 45 described species of mygalomorphae putatively located in Califorina, USA.
Over 25 of these species are non-Theraphosidae (tarantula) mygalos!
There are 6 Families of Mygalomorphae in CA, each with their own treatment thread:
ANTRODIAETIDAE - 3 Genera 14 Species
CTENIZIDAE - 2 Genera 2 species
CYRTAUCHENIIDAE - 3 Genera 8 Species
MECICOBOTHRIIDAE - 2 Genera 2 Species
NEMESIIDAE - 1 Genus 2 Species
THERAPHOSIDAE - no treatment started yet _________________

If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

Title: A revision of the American spiders of the family Microstigmatidae (Araneae, Mygalomorphae). American Museum novitates ; no. 2707
Authors: Raven, Robert J.
Platnick, Norman I.
Issue Date: 1981
Publisher: New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History
Series/Report no.: American Museum novitates ; no. 2707
Abstract: "The tribal grouping Microstigmateae Roewer is removed from the Dipluridae and elevated to familial rank. The subfamily Pseudonemesiinae Caporiacco is transferred from the Ctenizidae to the Microstigmatidae. The family is suggested to be the sister group of the Mecicobothriidae plus Hexalethidae and Dipluridae. The male of the Venezuelan species Pseudonemesia parva Caporiacco is descibed for the first time, and a new species, P. kochalkai, is described from Colombia. A genus (Ministigmata) described for a new species (M. minuta) from Brazil is hypothesized to be more closely related to the South African genus Microstigmata than to Pseudonemesia"--P. [1].

Title: A revision of the American spiders of the family Atypidae (Araneae, Mygalomorphae). American Museum novitates ; no. 2704
Authors: Gertsch, Willis John, 1906-
Platnick, Norman I.
Issue Date: 1980
Publisher: New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History
Series/Report no.: American Museum novitates ; no. 2704
Abstract: "The eight known New World species of Atypidae are diagnosed, described, and assigned to two genera on the basis of genitalic and somatic characters. Only one American species, Atypus snetsingeri Sarno, belongs to the Holarctic genus Atypus Latreille. The nominal species Atypus abboti (Walckenaer), A. rufipes Latreille, A. bicolor Lucas, A. milberti (Walckenaer), and A. niger Hentz are transferred to the endemic Nearctic genus Sphodros Walckenaer. Sphodros bicolor and S. milberti are newly synonymized with S. rufipes. Four new species are described: S. paisano from Texas and Tamaulipas, Mexico; S. fitchi from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas; S. atlanticus from Virginia, Illinois, North Carolina, and Georgia; and S. coylei from South Carolina"--P.

Title: A revision of the spider family Mecicobothriidae (Araneae, Mygalomorphae). American Museum novitates ; no. 2687
Authors: Gertsch, Willis John, 1906- Issue Date: 1979
Publisher: New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History
Series/Report no.: American Museum novitates ; no. 2687
Abstract: "The Argentinean spider Mecicobothrium thorelli Holmberg is redescribed on the basis of the first specimens to be discovered since the long lost holotype was collected in 1881; the female is described for the first time. The female of the Californian species Megahexura fulva (Chamberlin) is redescribed and the male described for the first time. Hexura picea Simon from Washington and Oregon is redescribed and a new species, Hexura rothi, is described from Oregon. A new genus, Hexurella, is established for four new species: H. pinea and H. apachea from Arizona, H. rupicola from California, and H. encina from Baja California. The presence of an elongated, cymbium-shaped tarsus surrounding the male palpal bulb is suggested to be synapomorphic for the family. Evidence from the structure of the tarsal organ is used to support the previous rejection of a hypothesized sister-group relationship between the Mecicobothriidae and Antrodiaetidae in favor of one between the Mecicobothriidae and Dipl...
