Renkes), deposited in AMNH.Etymology.-The specific name is a patronym inhonor of Mr. Steven Fend, one of the collectors ofthe holotype.Description.-Total body length, 1.59-2.00.Scute length, 1.21-1.41. Leg 11 length, 3.28-3.69.Leg II1Scute length, 2.54-2.71. (N=9)Color brownish orange. Body moderately rugose;tubercles small and sparse on eye mound andpars thoracica, large and dense on tergite margins(both free and fused), sternite margins, and coxae.Carapace with 2-4 pairs of AT. Eye mound broadlyconical, eyes well developed. Palpal megaspines:trochanter, I ventral; femur, I mesoapical; patella,2 mesal; tibia, 3 mesal. Tarsal count: 3-5-5-5.Male (holotype): Total body length, 1.72. Scutelength, 1.38; width, 1.36. Eye mound length, 0.33;width, 0.36. Leg II length, 3.62. TrIV spurlength, 0.10. POP absent.Penis (Figs. 186-191): VPP apically pointed,dorsal margin expanded; with 0 dorsal, 17 lateral,and 9 ventral setae; AS long, straight, apicallypolyfurcate. Glans: BK absent; ML broad, rounded;PSL attenuated. S long, tube-like, lackingventral modifications; BF present; SA representedby a pair of long prongs originating basoventrallyon the S.Female (paratopotype): Total body length, 1.92.Scute length, 1.36; width, 1.38. Eye mound length,0.33; width, 0.33. Leg II length, 3.67. TrIV withone or two ventral tubercles. GO with 1 pair ofapical tubercles.Ovipositor (Figs. 194-197): cuticle intricatelyfolded; dorsal and ventral surfaces with tiny serrations;1 pair of apical teeth present; setal pattern: Ipair dorsal, 4 pairs lateral, I pair ventral.Natural History.-The type locality is a pine<strong>for</strong>est with oaks. At the time of the collection thesurface conditions were somewhat xeric. The specimenswere collected beneath imbedded limestoneboulders; one specimen was on the rock undersurface,the others in the loose sandy soil immediatelybelow the rocks. The harvestmen occurred roughly0.2-0.3 m below the surface of the ground, in cooland relatively mesic conditions.Other Material Examined (Paratypes).- UNITED STATES: Texas: Fayette Co.: 11 mi N LaGrange, 18 July 1966 (J. and W. Ivie, AMNH,CAS), 3 males, 2 females; 9 mi N La Grange, 1Sep. 1989 (D. Ubick, S. Fend, and S. Renkes,COD), I male, 2 females.Figs. 182-183.-Texella spinoperca, new species, female paratopotype: 182, ovipositor, lateral view; 183, ovipositor and genitaloperculum, apical view.234
Distribution.-Known only from FayetteCounty, Texas (Maps 2-4).Texella homi, new speciesFigs. 198-201.Diagnosis.-Males of this species are distinguishedfrom others in the infragroup by the followingcombination of characters: TrIV spur reduced;POP absent; GO lacking apical spines; VPP lackingdorsal setae; PSL attenuated; SA represented by alaterobasal carina; S short, tube-like, lacking ventralcarina (Figs. 198-201).Type.-Male holotype from 13.3 mi SEOakville, Live Oak County, Texas (14 Aug. 1966;T. Briggs and K. Hom), deposited in CAS.Etymology.-The specific name is a patronym inhonor of Mr. Kevin Hom, one of the collectors ofthis species.Description.-Total body length, 1.59-1. 80.Scute length, 1.13-1.23. Leg II length, 3.05-3.33.Leg II/Scute length, 2.48-2.90. (N = 4).Color brown. Body moderately rugose; tuberclessparse on eye mound, pars thoracica, tergite margins,and coxae. Carapace with 3 pairs of AT. Eyemound broadly conical, eyes well developed.Palpal megaspines: trochanter, 1 ventral; femur, 1mesoapical; patella, 2 mesal; tibia, 3 mesal. Tarsalcount: 3-5-4-5.Male (holotype): Total body length, 1.67. Scutelength, 1.15; width, 1.13. Eye mound length, 0.26;width, 0.28. Leg II length, 3.33. TrIV spurlength, 0.03. POP absent.Penis (Figs. 198-201): VPP apically pointed,dorsal margin expanded; with 0 dorsal, 19 lateral,and 7 ventral setae; AS long, robust, curved, apicalhalf densely plumose. Glans: BK absent; ML rectangular;PSL attenuated. S short, apically tubelike;BF present; SA represented by laterobasalcarina.Female (paratopotype): Total body length, 1.80.Scute length, 1.18; width, 1.18. Eye mound length,0.31; width, 0.31. Leg II length, 3.28. TrIV withventral tubercle. GO with 1 pair of apical spines.Ovipositor: cuticle intricately folded; dorsal surfacewith few scattered microtubercles, ventralsurface smooth; 1 pair apical teeth present; setalpattern: 1 pair dorsal, 4 pairs lateral, 1 pair ventral.Variation.-The second female has asymmetricalapical spination on the GO: one spine on the leftside, two on the right.Note.-The brown color of the specimens isprobably the result of prolonged storage in Oudemans'Fluid (see discussion in Ubick and Briggs,1989:96); it is expected that the natural color ofthese harvestmen is brownish orange.OtherMaterial Examined (Paratypes).-UNIT-EDSTATES: Texas: Live Oak Co.: 13.3 mi SEOakville, 14 Aug. 1966 (T. Briggs and K. Hom,CAS), 1 male, 2 females.Distribution.-Known only from the type locality(Maps 2-4).Figs. 184-185.-Texellafendi, new species, male paratype: 184. anterior half of body, lateral view;185, palpi. lateral view.235
