, grammar gender assumed masculine.
Diagnosis
. Share mutual diagnostic characters of PSEUDICIINES: lateral, subocular row of about 10 short bristles on protuberances, the modified tibia of robust leg I, flattened body and characteristic color pattern.
Female.
Internal structures of epigyne set transversally, however, spermatheca is somewhat swollen distally, copulatory ducts light sclerotized, encircles proximal, the level part of spermatheca by a single, or a few coils, the armature of scent opening developed into long, prominent duct, chimney-like (
Fig. 8A
). Epigyne externally comparable with
Psudicius
, differs by large oval, shallow depression with a pair of median grooves containing medial copulatory openings. There is a pair of indistinct, postero-lateral pockets, translucent trough tegument.
Male palp with elongate oval bulbus, with pronounced posterior part. Embolus parallel to bulbus, arising laterally from the posterior part of bulbus. Tibial apophysis short and single, inclined ventrally, with vestigial dorsal ramus reduced to slight swelling on the dorsal edge (
Fig. 8B
).
