Lecanoideus Quaintance and Baker Syn. nov. (Martin 2008)

Distribution: Although primarily natives of the Neotropics, a few species are natives of the Asia-Pacific area [Martin 1996 1999 and 2008] .

Taxonomy [Martin, 1999 and 2008: 14-45] [Caballero, 1992:58-59]:

Terminal claws always present on leg.

Four, five, or six abdominal pairs of subdorsal compound pores with central processes. The first four usually large with the central processes exserting beyond the pore orifice; one or two significantly smaller compound pores absent or present on caudal segments VII & VIII. Simple pores of various types present or absent within the genus: discoidal, wide rimmed, double-rimmed, & septate shape.

12 pairs of sub marginal hair-like setae; 2 to 4 submedian pairs of cephalothoracic setae present; in some cases the cephalic and/or the prothoracic setae pairs absent.

Chordate (heart-shaped) vasiform orifice; lingula is large, blunted (see caveat below), and exserted (glossary definition) with four setae (two of which many be reduced making it difficult to see or broken off).
