Tauriobia Livshits & Mitrofanov, 1967. Livshits & Mitrofanov (1967): 1850
Notes: Tauriobia may be recognized by the increasing number of coxal setae; coxal setal formula is 11-9-9-9; other podomeres characterized by an enriched chaetotaxy; prodorsum with 3 pairs of setae and opisthosoma with 10 pairs of dorsal setae, set on small tubercles; about 6 pairs of ventral setae are present between coxae III and IV; true claws and empodia pad-like, equal in length and provided with I pair of tenent hairs; peritreme anastomoses distally (Meyer, 1987).
True claws and empodia padlike with two rows of tenent hairs; 2 pairs of duplex setae on tarsus I, 1 pair on tarsus II; propodosoma with 3 pairs of setae (v2, sc1, sc2), prodorsal lobes absent, opisthosoma with 10 pairs of setae (c1–3, d1–2, e1–2, f1–2, h1); sacral setae f1 in normal position; peritreme developed in a distal oval anastomosis; dorsal body setae set on tubercles, long, tapering, serrate and acute distally; one pair of aggenital (ag1) setae, 2 pairs of genital setae (g1–2), 3 pairs of pseudanal setae (ps1–3) and 2 pairs of ventrocaudals (h2–3) present ventrally; coxal and ventral hypertrichy; all tarsi with solenidia; tectal setae (tc′, tc″) absent (Stathakis et al. 2024).
The genus Tauriobia comprises 1 species.
