Description
Summary:Antrokoreana gujoensis Masuda, 2010 [Japanese name: Gujo-tateune-horayasude] (Figs 2–8) Antrokoreana gujoensis Masuda, 2010: 29–32, figs 1, 2; Masuda 2021: 31 (list). Emended diagnosis. This species is clearly distinguishable from all congeners by each distal tip of the posterior gonopods elongate and rake-shaped with 3 or 4 branched-processes (bps; Fig. 7B, C) and its basal part with 2 tulip-leaf shaped processes (tsps; Fig. 7B, C) which do not reach the distal end of the posterior gonopod, differs further from its closest congener, A. takakuwai (Verhoeff, 1941), by its possession of elongate distal tips of posterior gonopods, of which the basal processes do not reach the distal end of each posterior gonopod (compared with short distal tips of posterior gonopods in A. takakuwai; Shinohara 1973). Type locality. Kumaishi-do Cave (cave entrance: ~ 35.74°N, ~ 136.99°E), Gujo, Gifu Prefecture, Japan (Masuda 2010). Material examined.
