Mollhagen), berlese sampleof guano, 1 tritonymph.Remarks.-Neoallochernes stercoreus is, withoutany doubt, congeneric with N. garcianus and N.cubanus; it shares with those species all of the importantgeneric characters of Neoallochernes.Neoallochernes stercoreus is common in manybat caves in Texas as far west as Terrell County.However, in spite of considerable collecting, it hasnot been found in the extensive bat caves in EddyCounty, New Mexico, where one might expect conditionssimilar to those in Texas. Perhaps the Carlsbadcaves are actually different in some way(temperature, humidity, kinds of bats, kinds of foodorganisms, etc.), or perhaps N. stercoreus has beenexcluded from these caves by competition with Dinocheirusastutus, which is commonly found there.Neoallochernes(?) incertus, new speciesFigs. 23, 24Type-data.-Holotype male (DMI81.01001)from "bottom of 100 foot entrance drop" in LonesomeRidge Deep Pit, Eddy County, New Mexico,14 April 1963 (B. Bell); mounted on slide(AMNH).Diagnosis.-Generally similar to males of N.stercoreus but, most obviously, with more slenderappendages (palpal femur LIB = 3.05, rather than2.5 or less). More subtle differences include the natureof setae bs and es on the cheliceral hand and the"tactile seta" on the tarsus of leg IV, and the placementof trichobothria on the chelal fingers, etc., asdiscussed below.Description.-Rather lightly sclerotized, all partstan in color. Carapace longer than broad; surfacefinely granulate, especially laterally; 2 distinct144
transverse furrows; eyespots not evident; setae clavodentate.Tergites 1-10 and sternites 4-10 divided;surfaces of tergites finely granulate to scaly, sternitessmooth; dorsal setae clavodentate, ventral setaedenticulate. Tergal chaetotaxy 15:16:15:18:18:20:18:17:16:14:12:2; sternal chaetotaxy ?:(2)18(2):(2)14(2):22:21 :22:21 :20: 16: 12:2; presence of tactilesetae on tergite and sternite 11 uncertain, as lateralsetae are missing. Genitalia large and heavy but otherwisenot describable, as the abdomen has beenseparated from the cephalothorax in this specimenand the genital region is damaged.Chelicera with 4 setae on hand, all acuminate, esshort, less than Ih as long as bs; flagellum of 3 setae;both galeae are broken from the movable fmgersof this specimen.Palp (Fig. 23) more slender than that of N. stercoreus:trochanter 1.95, femur 3.05, tibia 2.4, andchela (without pedicel) 3.15 times as long as broad;hand (without pedicel) 1.65 times as long as deep;movable finger 1.09 times as long as hand. Surfacesfinely granulate, except chelal fingers smooth; mostsetae short, denticulate. Trichobothria as shown inFig. 24; on movable finger the distance between tand st is about 2 times the distance between b andsb; on fixed fmger est lies distad of middle, nearlyat same level as ist; eb, esb, ib and isb close togetheron base of finger, at or distal to level of lastmarginal tooth. Fixed fmger with 45 and movablefinger with 47 cusped marginal teeth; each fingerwith 5-7 internal and external accessory teeth.Venom apparatus well developed in movable finger,with nodus ramosus midway between trichobothria tand st; only a short venedens and vestigial venomduct in fixed finger.Legs rather slender; leg IV with entire femur 4.22324Figs. 23-24.-Neoallochemes(?) incertus, new species, holotype male: 23, left palp, dorsal view; 24, right chela, lateral view(darkened areoles are underneath).145
