Pelegrina bunites Maddison 1995

Containing group: Pelegrina

Introduction

In general appearance, strongly resembles other Pelegrina species, but lacks the characteristic Pelegrina embolus with subterminal opening and two rami. The most distinctive features are the embolus whose erect portion twists and tapers towards tip and the distinct bend on the epigynal flaps. This species is only tentatively placed in Pelegrina, for the embolus has its opening terminal and lacks two distinct rami.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
