| abstract | Linotetranus achrous was described from specimens collected on Distichlis spicata from Tesla (today the Carnegie State Recreation Area), California, USA. The original description does not provide sufficient information for accurate and consistent species identification. In this paper, we redescribe the female of L. achrous and include additional novel data in a standardized form. In addition, we describe and illustrate Linotetranus faemensis sp. nov., based on adult females, collected from soil in a native grassland in southern Brazil. This is the first time the family Linotetranidae has been recorded from Brazil. An updated key to all known species in the world is provided. |
