Genus
Falcileptoneta Komatsu, 1970
Type species.
Leptoneta striatus
Oi, 1952
Diagnosis.
The genus
Falcileptoneta
is similar to
Leptoneta
and
Longileptoneta
by having fewer sclerites on the bulb but can be distinguished from these two genera by the combination of the following characters: tarsus of male palp with shallow, transverse depression and without spines; tibia with apophyses on the retrolateral apical end; bulb with sickle-like or membranous embolus; complex laminae of the bulb.
Leptoneta
can be distinguished by the tarsus with a branch bearing an apical spine.
Longileptoneta
can be identified by the strong femoral spines, the prolateral curvature bearing a prolateral distal spur on the tarsus, a finger-like median sclerite, and a leaf-like embolus.
Comments
.
According to the original description, the genus
Falcileptoneta
is similar to
Leptoneta
but can be distinguished by the falcula on the tibia of the male palp. Femur normal. Tibia with three trichobothria, and the apical end with spine-like apophyses. Tarsus with several bristles but no spines and a weak transverse depression. We have added descriptions of the following characters: the shape of the embolus and the laminae of the bulb.
