The spider genus
Specimens were examined with a LEICA M205C stereomicroscope. Images were captured with an Olympus C7070 wide zoom digital camera (7.1 megapixels) mounted on an Olympus SZX12 dissecting microscope. Epigynes and male palps were examined after dissection from the spiders’ bodies.
All measurements were obtained using a LEICA M205C stereomicroscope and are given in millimeters. Leg measurements are shown as: Total length (femur, patella + tibia, metatarsus, tarsus). Only structures (palp and legs) of the left body side were described and measured. The terminology used in the text and the figure legends follows = epigynal atrium = anterior lateral eye = anterior median eye = distance between AME and ALE = distance between AME and AME = distance between ALE and PLE = copulatory duct = cymbial furrow = conductor lamella = conductor = embolus = embolic base = epigynal scape = fertilization duct = lateral tibial apophysis = median apophysis = posterior lateral eye = posterior median eye = distance between PME and PLE = distance between PME and PME = receptacle = retroventral tibial apophysis = subtegulum = tegulum
DNA barcodes were obtained for future use. A partial fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I
