When Speleonycta ozarkensis was originally described (Espinasa et al. 2010), the diagnosis states that “tibia of second leg very stout (2 times longer than wide) with a large bulge with 3 distinctly long, sclerotized, and curved macrochaetae”, as shown in (A). This description was based on a single specimen that had already been dissected and mounted in a fixed slide, with the legs isolated from each other. Examination of new specimens (B) shows that the order of legs was misidentified and that the modification is actually on the first leg pair.
