Pseudoliomera lata

(Borradaile, 1902)

Small species, the carapace transversely ovoid and the lobules clearly demarcated by rather narrow grooves; the surface of lobules being covered with flat granules interspersed with long black setae, while the grooves are furnished with very short setae of the same colouration. 2M is completely divided into two lobules, the inner one of which is narrower; 3M is entire, 1P is indistinctly divided into two lobules; 1R and 2R are continuous, 3R is small but well isolated. The wrist has three grooves, one longitudinal and the others transverse; palm has only one oblique groove near the proximal end. Carpus of ambulatory legs has a longitudinal groove, otherwise each segment is not areolated. (T. Sakai, 1939: 489)
