The genus Erica shares several characters with the genus Fluda Peckham & Peckham, 1892 , but can be distinguished from the latter by the relatively high cephalothorax, with the cephalic region slightly inclined forward and a slight constriction separating it from the thoracic region, which is convex ( Figures 1–4 ). The male is easily distinguished from the other members of the Simonellini by the pedipalp ( Figures 17–18 ), with a simple bulb and the embolus short and thin, occupying a fossa on the prolateral side of the bulb ( Figures 21–22 ). The copulatory ducts of the female Erica are somewhat similar to Synemosyna Hentz 1846 , but the female Erica is easily distinguished by the circular epigynum, and the clear gonopore, connected directly by the insemination ducts ( Figures 13 , 15 ), which immediately curve, and then continue straight until they fold back on themselves, forming the spermatheca and then culminating in the fertilization ducts ( Figures 14 , 16 ).
