Descripción
Sumario:This article provides a taxonomic description of Siculobata talarica sp. nov. collected from native forest soil of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This new species was compared to its conspecifics: Siculobata sicula and Siculobata malabarica, respectively. After a status and affinity revision among Siculobata, Metaleius, Paraleius, Vesiculobates and Floribates, the taxonomic concept of Siculobata is reconsidered and a more accurate diagnosis of its genus is proposed. © 2013 Taylor and Francis.
