Ordo: Araneae
Familia: Gnaphosidae
Name
Pterotricha Kulczyński, 1903: 43. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bobineus Roewer 1955[1]: 773.
- Pterotricha : Dalmas 1921[2]: 248; Levy 1995[3]: 944; Murphy 2007[4]: 122–123.
Type species
Aranealentiginosa C. L. Koch, 1837.
Comments
The genus belongs to Gnaphosinae, and like all other members of this subfamily has a serrated keel on chelicera. It is easily distinguished from all other Gnaphosinae by long to very long spinnerets (Figs 1c, 4a, 6a–b, 10b–c, 11g), the male palp with squarrose tibial apophysis and a heavily sclerotized (non-membranous) and pointed “conductor”. Most of the species have a stylus on embolus (vs. lacking in all other genera).
Distribution
The genus is known from Spain to South Africa, to western India, with a single, doubtful record of Pterotrichasaga (Dönitz & Strand, 1906) from Japan (most likely belonging to Callilepis Westring, 1874).
