Linyphiid spiders (Araneae, Linyphiidae) from Pakistan and India Author Tanasevitch, Andrei V. text Revue suisse de Zoologie 2011 2011-09-30 118 3 561 598 https://www.mendeley.com/catalogue/62276a14-c10f-35bd-b9bb-3ab283d3f6c0/ journal article 10.5962/bhl.part.117817 0035-418X 6312018 Paracymboides gen. n. TYPE SPECIES : Paracymboides tibialis sp. n . ETYMOLOGY: The generic name refers to the peculiar shape of the paracymbium; gender masculine. DIAGNOSIS: The new genus is characterized by the highly modified palpal tibia, the narrow, long and mammoth-tusk-like paracymbium, the simple embolic division with a long embolus, and the well-developed median membrane. DESCRIPTION: Small-sized erigonines, total length 1.50-1.80 mm . Carapace unmodified, sulci absent, eyes normal. Chaetotaxy 1.1.1.1. TmI 0.30-0.36. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palpal tibia highly modified. Paracymbium narrow, very long and strong curved. Median membrane well developed and protruded forward. Embolic division very simple: radical part elongated, flat, without outgrowths or processes; embolus thin, very long and slightly curved distally. Epigyne without cavity, its ventral surface (= “ventral plate” sensu Millidge (1984)) hairy. Receptacles relatively large, complex. TAXONOMIC REMARKS: It is difficult to say anything about the closest relatives of this genus at present. It is likely that they will be found among other SE-Asian erigonines. SPECIES INCLUDED: Paracymboides tibialis sp. n. (the type species) and P. aduncus sp. n. DISTRIBUTION: Southern India .
