Latreille, 1829: 315
.
Diagnosis
. MALE. Head slightly narrower than thorax. Clypeus longitudinally convex, roof-like. Mandible tridentate, not widened apically, preapical inner teeth distinctly smaller than apical one, beneath with basal carina, without subbasal tooth.Ocelli small, POD much less than OOD. Flagellomeres overlapped, F1–7(10) with apophyses, double series of apophyses more or less equal in length. T2 with long lateral felt line, S2 with short lateral felt line. T7 black, without cuticular yellowish spot. FEMALE. Unknown.
Diversity and distribution
. Four species, all known from males only, are recognized from
South Africa
.
Remarks
. Based on a recent molecular phylogenetic analysis (Waldren
et al.
in press), this genus belongs in a new tribe. There are no published keys that treat the species of
Psammotherma
.
