Containing group: Pelegrina

Introduction

An enigmatic species from south central México with a palpus in some ways resembling each of galathea, proterva and peckhamorum. The swollen base of the erect portion of the embolus is wider than in galathea though not so extreme as in proterva. The retrolateral ramus is wider than in galathea though not so long and hooked as in proterva.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
