Diagnosis Adapted from Fukushima et al. , 2008 and Pérez-Miles & Perafán (2020): Males of Kochiana ressemble Catanduba , Homoeomma , Plesiopelma , and Tmesiphantes Simon, 1892 by the palpal bulb with long and narrow embolus pointing downward (prolateral view). Males differ from other genera by the combination of following characters: presence of prolateral tegular keel (PTK), PS short and discrete; absence of digital apophysis in tegulum, embolus with an apical median crest (MC), absence of metatarsus tubercle on the male leg I, metatarsus I fold between the two branches of the tibial apophysis and femur III straight. Females differ from those of other genera by the sclerotized spermathecae, with two receptacles and granular cavities (GC) on receptacles, ducts and base. Distribution The genus Kochiana is distributed in northeastern Brazil states of Paraíba , Alagoas and Sergipe , mainly found in fragments of Atlantic rainforest. Species included Kochiana brunnipes ( Koch, 1841 ) K. fukushimae sp. nov.
