Pseudonychiurus dentatus (Folsom, 1902)
Onychiurus dentatus Folsom, 1902
Figs. 50-54

A specimen labelled cotype USNM No. 5436 was used to prepare these drawings.

Notes: The PAO (Fig. 53) is more irregular in outline than suggested by Folsom. The claw as well as having a pair of external lateral winglike teeth and a pair of external distal teeth also has an inner tooth situated on an inner lateral "blade" or keel-like structure separate from the main inner keel of the claw. This "blade" swells distally into a kind of hummock or basal sheath (Fig. 51). The bases of both the claw and unguiculus are granulated. The papillae of the anal spines have granules much smaller than those of the surrounding cuticle (Fig. 54).

PSO as follows: Ant base 2+2, hind margin of head 1+1, ThI 0+0, ThII 2+2, ThIII 1+1, Abds I-V 2+2 each.
