Description
Summary:Nevadia Walcott, 1910 Type species. N. weeksi Walcott, 1910. Discussion. Nevadia saupeae n. sp. was assigned to Nevadia based on its possession of key diagnostic features including the lack of a macropleural third thoracic segment, the relatively long (as opposed to species of Nevadella) (sag.) LA, and its possession of straight SO and S 2 (additional discussion of criteria for assigning species to Nevadia as opposed to Nevadella is given in Lieberman 2001). Important distinctions between N. saupeae and other species of Nevadia / Nevadella include a very broad (tr.) extraocular area, very short (exsag.) genal spines (about the length [sag.] of LO), and presence of a preglabellar field.
