Abstract

Three species of Macrobiotus (M. gildae, M. polygonatus and M. eugranulatus) were re‐examined. Based on their synapomor‐phies with Calcarobiotus, they are ascribed to that genus. Within Calcarobiotus two phyletic lines are detected on the basis of the claw morphology. Therefore a new subgenus is erected: Calcarobiotus (Discrepunguis) subgen. n. constituted by C. (D.) polygonatus comb, n., and C. (D.) eugranulatus comb. n.; the subgenus Calcarobiotus (Calcarobiotus) includes C. (C.) filmeri, C. (C.) oc‐cultus, C. (C.) imperialis and C. (C.) gildae comb. n.
