Cryptolarynx homaroides Haran sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: B52976BC-5840-45EC-9813-C4BB817C0056 Figs 1R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R Differential diagnosis Cryptolarynx homaroides sp. nov. is most similar to C. marshalli sp. nov., but the body of the latter species is distinctly more elongate and lacks the distinct lobster-like copulatory sclerite of C. homaroides. Etymology The species name homaroides is derived from the genus name of the European Lobster (Homarus gammarus Linnaeus) and refers to the remarkably similar shape of copulatory sclerite in the endophallus of this species. The specific epithet is an adjective with immutable ending. Material examined Holotype REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA • ♂; “ S. Afr. [REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA – Northern Cape], Namaquald [Namaqualand].
