| Popis: | Genus Macedomeris Antić, new genus Etymology. The new genus is named for its terra typica, North Macedonia, with the addition of the suffix - meris, which is commonly used in the order Glomerida. The name is a feminine noun. Diagnosis. The new genus is clearly distinguished from all other genera of the order Glomerida, with the exception of Trachysphaera, Epiromeris and Tectosphaera Mauri��s, 2005, by the presence of a characteristic deep lateral pit (���Ohrgrube���) on both sides of the thoracic shield (e.g. Fig. 5F, H). Macedomeris gen. nov. differs from Trachysphaera by the absence of striking ornamentation on tergites (vs. present in Trachysphaera); from Epiromeris and Tectosphaera by tergite 11 and the anal shield being fused and lacking a large medial hump/protrusion (vs. tergite 11 not fused with the anal shield and featuring a very conspicuous medial hump/protrusion on tergite 11 in Epiromeris and Tectosphaera). In addition, Macedomeris gen. nov. differs from other Glomerida by its general appearance, the presence of 2 or 3 vestigial ommatidia and a very wide syncoxite of a 2-segmented leg-pair 17 in the male. Type species: Macedomeris ivoi Antić sp. nov., by present designation and monotipy. Description. See below.
