Abstract:

Arniscus humeralis (Dallas) is redescribed with special reference to the male and female genitalia including the pygophore, paramere and inflated aedeagus and components of female genitalial plates which clearly go hand in hand not only with other Myrocheine genera i.e., LapriusStal and DorpiusDistant but also with the western Australian genus TholosanusDistant. The two genera were placed in the same generic group i.e., Tholosanusgroup Gross and appear very close to the western Australian genera of Dictyotus group Gross.
