Chelicerae with three anterior teeth on fixed finger. Female chelicerae with a dorsal hump on fixer finger at level of anterior teeth. Body covered by spiniform setae.
According to our data,
Chileotrecha
is closely related to
Procleobis
and
Sedna
Muma, 1971
.
Chileotrecha
differs from
Procleobis
by the presence of three anterior teeth on the fixed finger instead of two.
Sedna
is characterized by the presence of spatulate ctenidia on male spiracular sternites, absent in
Chileotrecha
and
Procleobis
.
