| Popis: | A new ant-resembling spider species of the subfamily Castianeirinae, Myrmecotypus mazaxoidessp. nov., from the Sub-Andean area of the Bolivian orocline is described. Adults of M. mazaxoidessp. nov. resemble the carpenter ant Camponotus cf. melanoticus Emery, 1894 and were observed on the ground of savanna-like habitats close to the entrances of formicaries of this ant. This study is the first to report a ground-dwelling species of Myrmecotypus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1894; all the other species are arboreal. |
