Mathys leg.; BE_RMCA_MYR.Dip.22930. Remarks In the original description of the species, the length unit given for the specimens��� sizes is wrong and should have been cm instead of mm. Correct measurements are: length ♂♂: 3.4���8.0 cm; ♀♀: 5.0��� 7.0 cm; midbody width 0.34���0.5 cm and 0.3 ��� 0.5 cm, respectively. Taking this modification into account, the recently collected specimens agree with the description (VandenSpiegel & Golovatch 2007).
