Diagnosis
. Males and females are distinguished from those of other migid genera (except from
Calathotarsus
and
Moggridgea
) by having a broad ocular area occupying from 0.40 to 0.93 of caput width.
Goloboffia
is distinguished from
Moggridgea
by the presence of spines on tarsi I–IV, females lack a dorsal excavation on tibia III and males have lobes of palpal tarsus rounded and of similar sizes. Females of
Goloboffia
can be distinguished from those of
Calathotarsus
by lacking a ventral expansion and on palpal tarsus and also by the absence of dorsal spinules on palpal tarsus. Males of
Goloboffia
are distinguished from those of
Calathotarsus
by the bent metatarsus I, absence of a digitiform projection basally on metatarsus I and by the longer embolus of the palpal bulb with an apical expansion.
