Pickard-Cambridge, 1889 Mangora O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1889: 14; Yin et al. 1997 : 329; Yin et al. 2012 : 711. Type species Mangora picta O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1889 from Guatemala Comments . Unlike the typical Mangora species, the two new species in this region both lack trichobothria on the tibia of leg III, but they have some common characters with Mangora , such as the cephalic region of the carapace is about half the maximum width of the thoracic region, the palp with one patellar bristle, and the abdomen oval; thus, we place the two species in Mangora , and phylogenetic analysis will focus on the placement of the two new species.
