Taxonomic notes on the genus Auranus (Opiliones, Laniatores, Stygnidae), with description of two new species
Among the Amazonian families of harvestmen the members of Stygnidae are better known due to the recent revision of the family and efforts of specialists describing new taxa in the last few years. Species of Amazonian genus Auranus Mello- Leitão, 1941, have been collected in several inventories that...

Species of Amazonian genus Auranus Mello- Leitão, 1941, have been collected in several inventories that were carried out in different locations of the Amazon basin. In this paper we provide a new diagnosis for Auranus, and the description of two new species: Auranus leonidas sp. nov. and Auranus xerxes sp. nov. from the Brazilian states of Roraima and Amazonas, respectively. We also offer complemen-tary genital descriptions of Auranus hehu Pinto-da-Rocha & Tourinho 2012, Auranus parvus Mello-Leitão, 1941, and Au-ranus tepui Pinto-da-Rocha & Tourinho 2012. Five species are recognized in Auranus, including the two new species described in this paper. The lamina parva modified into a calyx is proposed as putative synapomorphy for the genus Au-ranus. Therefore, A. hoeferscovitorum, which does not possess this character, is removed from Auranus. Instead we pro-pose for it the new combination Verrucastygnus hoeferscovitorum comb. nov. We also provide a key to the males of Auranus, and a map with the distribution for all species examined in this work. © Copyright 2016 Magnolia Press. 2020-06-15T21:41:33Z 2020-06-15T21:41:33Z 2016 Artigo https://repositorio.inpa.gov.br/handle/1/17345 10.11646/zootaxa.4103.2.2 en Volume 4103, Número 2, Pags. 117-129 Restrito Zootaxa |

Among the Amazonian families of harvestmen the members of Stygnidae are better known due to the recent revision of the family and efforts of specialists describing new taxa in the last few years. Species of Amazonian genus Auranus Mello- Leitão, 1941, have been collected in several inventories that were carried out in different locations of the Amazon basin. In this paper we provide a new diagnosis for Auranus, and the description of two new species: Auranus leonidas sp. nov. and Auranus xerxes sp. nov. from the Brazilian states of Roraima and Amazonas, respectively. We also offer complemen-tary genital descriptions of Auranus hehu Pinto-da-Rocha & Tourinho 2012, Auranus parvus Mello-Leitão, 1941, and Au-ranus tepui Pinto-da-Rocha & Tourinho 2012.
