Re: Opiliones on WAB

Thanks, Arp.
Yes, it's a good idea to look at these en masse from time to time (could be applied to some other orders/families). I've often thought that some of the identifications were a bit iffy but it's not my best area and time is seldom available!

I'll try to go through these some time and hope that others will do the same - in a sense of constructive criticism.

PLEASE DO ADD OTHERS/CORRECTIONS!!
...........
Leiobunidae
Dicranopalpus ramosus (female & male)
More: here, here, here, here, here.


Leiobunum rotundum (female & male):
More: here, here, here, here, here, here; But these??: Izzit??, Izzit??.

Unsure:
Current ID is "Phalangium opilio" which it's not. I'm guessing maybe Leiobunum blackwalli, but I have no idea what Nelima gothica looks like or what other British species (not in the list?) might fit the bill???

Leiobunum blackwalli: No images yet or see above?? Or what about this: blackwalli fem.??

Nelima gothica: No images yet, or see above??


Nemastomatidae
Centetostoma bacilliferum: No images yet??

Mitostoma chrysomelas:
(image on WATW)

Mitopus morio / Mitopus morio var. ericaeus:
I'm really not sure ... these two are currently IDed as "Mitopus morio" but I tend to doubt that???:
????

Odiellus spinosus:
IDs by Arp VERY uncertain! (just guessing really!). More: Maybe
this one too????

Opilio canestrinii (female & male):
IDs by Arp, so quite uncertain!. More: watw

Phalangium opilio:
(3rd on WATW showing a male) More: watw. But these??: Izzit??, Izzit??.
