phasma
(ghost), referring to the ghost-like appearance of the species; feminine in gender.
Diagnosis.
Resembles
Lakarobius
Berry, Beatty & Prószyṅski, 1998
and
Bindax
Thorell
(see Prószyṅski 1984) in body form and color pattern, but differs from them by the absence of a proximal tegular lobe and retrolateral sperm duct loop in the male palp (
Figs 191–192
). This genus can also be distinguished from
Lakarobius
by the chelicera with three promarginal teeth (
Fig. 193
; two in
Lakarobius
) and one bicuspid retromarginal tooth (
Fig. 193
; four cusps in
Lakarobius
), and the median septum of female epigynum, which is not continuous with the anterior rim of the window (
Fig. 194
). Also similar to
Athamas
O. P.—Cambridge (see
Jendrzejewska 1995
),
Bulolia
Żabka, 1996
and
Leptathamas
Balogh, 1980a
(see Szű
ts 2003
) in the ALEs, which are posterior to the AMEs, but can be easily distinguished from them by the shape of the genitalic organs (
Figs 191–192, 194–195
).
