Abstract

Male and female adults of Neomideopsis siuslawensis n. gen., n. sp. are described from Oregon, U.S.A. The genus Neomideopsis is proposed and diagnosed based primarily upon the strikingly autapomorphic presence of 17–23 genital acetabula on each acetabular plate flanking the gonopore. Possible relationships between N. siuslawensis and other Mideopsidae, especially species currently placed in Mideopsis (Nudomideopsis), are discussed.

Résumé

L'auteur décrit des adultes mâles et femelles de Neomideopsis siuslawensis, nouveaux genre et espèce, de l'Oregon, États-Unis. Le genre Neomideopsis est proposé et diagnostiqué d'après la présence remarquablement autopomorphique de 17–23 acetabula génitaux sur chaque plaque acétabulaire flanquant le gonopore. L'ouvrage examine les rapports possibles entre N. siuslawensis et d'autres Mideopsidae, surtout les espèces actuellement placées dans le genre Mideopsis (Nudomideopsis).
