Type species.
Anisaspis tuberculata
Simon, 1892, deposited in NHM, examined.
Diagnosis.
Anisaspis
differs from other paratropidid genera by the presence of only two spinnerets (PLS) (Figure 1D) and all legs with only two tarsal claws (STC), males without tibial apophysis and palpal bulb with sinuous embolus (Figure 1E, F). PLS relatively long (Figure 1A, B). Females remain unknown.
Remarks.
The specimen described as holotype female of
A. tuberculata
is actually a juvenile specimen. Therefore, females of this genus remain unknown.
