Afrotydeus
Year: 2025
Type: other
Abstract: It was erected by Baker (1970) as subgenus of Tydeus to accommodate three species: munsteri, kenyensis, and meyerae. These three species exhibit three different leg chaetotaxies. The type species designated by Baker (1970: 165) is Tydeus munsteri and not A. kenyensis as reported by André (1980: 107), Kaźmierski (1998a: 354) and Silva et al. (2016: 8). The species described by Meyer and Ryke (1959) and studied by André (1980: 126) and by Ueckermann and Grout (2007) has 6 genitals [and not 4 as noted by Baker (1970: 164)] and exhibits the same phanerotaxy as the nominal subgenus Tydeus.
