Armadillo mayeti Simon 1885

Comparison of A. mayeti and A. pseudomayeti According to Mattern (1999), the name A. pseudomayeti implies that it shares morphological similarities with A. mayeti, including body pattern, granulated tegument, groove visible along all lateral margin of epimera I, straight distal margin of the pleotelson, maxilliped and endite maxilla structure. Armadillo mayeti differs from the A. pseudomayeti male type by the configuration of the pleopod exopodites, the absence of thick bristle brushes on the carpus of pereiopods 1 and 2, distal article of the flagellum about 2 times longer than proximal (vs 2.5 times in A. pseudomayeti), and 10–11 ommatidia (vs 6 in A. pseudomayeti).
