Ordo: Araneae
Familia: Symphytognathidae
Name
Anapistula Gertsch, 1941 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Anapistula Gertsch, 1941: 2.
Type species
Anapistula secreta Gertsch, 1941 by original designation, from the Bahamas.
Diagnosis
Anapistula differs from other genera of Symphytognathidae by: the presence of four lateral eyes in diads (most common) or the eyes are reduced to indistinct spots or absent (median eyes present in A. boneti Forster, 1958: figs 15, 16); the chelicerae are fused near the base, with two promarginal teeth; the cephalic area is slightly raised (strongly raised in A. boneti); a smooth carapace; and a sub-spherical abdomen without a colulus. Males are diagnosed by lacking clasping spines on tibia II, a cymbium without teeth or denticles but with long setae and apical lobes, a conductor, a short embolus (length less than ½ the diameter of the bulb), and a sperm duct coiled ca 1.5 times. Females are diagnosed by lacking palps, round spermathecae connected by a T- or Y-shaped epigynal median duct, and the absence of a scape and parmula (see Forster and Platnick 1977[1]: fig. 19; Harvey 1998[2]: figs 2, 4, 9, 14, 19; Dupérré and Tapia 2017[3]: fig. 33; Rivera-Quiroz et al. 2021[4]: figs 8d, 9c).
