Abstract

Arvechamboides ocala, n. gen., n. sp., is proposed for a male aniulinine milliped in Marion County, Florida; no females are available. The genus is the fourth in the Parajulidae recorded from Florida, all representatives of the Aniulini, and the second known only from the state, the other being Gyniulus Loomis, 1963. The posterior gonopods of Arvechamboides possess both true and accessory prefemoral processes, the former being a feature of Pseudojulus Bollman, 1887, and the latter, a trait of Arvechambus Causey, 1963. The 8th sternum expands laterally into broad lobes as in Arvechambus, and the generic name reflects the shared anatomical features with this genus. "Sphaerotrichomes" are observed on the tibiae & tarsi of the 1st legs and are reported in retrospect for previously studied aniulinine genera.
