Genus
Aposphragisma Thoma, 2014
Type species.
Aposphragisma helvetiorum
Thoma, 2014: 36-44
Diagnosis.
The genus
Aposphragisma
most resembles the genera
Gamasomorpha
Karsch, 1881 and
Xestaspis
Simon, 1884 (
Thoma et al. 2014
) but they can be differentiated based on the combination of the following characters: hard-bodied spiders; sternum with microsculpture; dorsal and ventral abdominal scuta not fused; labium strongly incised; legs without spines. Furthermore, males are distinguished by their palpal bulb bearing an apical embolus closely associated with a laminar conductor (
Thoma et al. 2014
).
Distribution.
Borneo, Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
