Biology:Trichodamon
From HandWiki
Trichodamon is a genus of whipspider from Brazil, containing a single species, Trichodamon princeps.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Before 2018, Trichodamon contained two species, T. princeps and T. froesi, described by Mello-Leitão in 1935 and 1940 respectively, with a third species T. pusillus previously synonymized to T. princeps. However, a paper published in 2018 concluded that the characters that were previously used to distinguish the two species were unreliable, and that Trichodamon is in fact monotypic.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Trichodamon is the only known phrynichid amblypygid found within the Americas. It is distributed within Brazil.[2]
