Saitis - Simon (part) 1901: 558. Prostheclina - Davies & Żabka 1989: 238; Richardson & Żabka 2007: 82 . Type species. Prostheclina pallida Keyserling, 1882 , by monotypy. Remarks. This genus was revised by Richardson & Żabka (2007) . It includes seven described species. For one species, Prostheclina boreoaitha Richardson and Żabka, 2007 , only the male was described. The female is described here and the female key updated to include this species. Key: Females 1. Insemination duct entrance anterior to spermatheca and insemination duct forms a median loop beside the spermatheca.... 2 – Insemination duct entrance beside spermatheca, and insemination duct with no median loop beside the spermatheca...... 3 2. Copulatory openings sclerotised and separated by less than the width across the spermathecae... P. boreoaitha ( Figs 61–67 ) – Copulatory openings not sclerotised and separated by more than the width across the spermathecae......... P. basilonessa 3. Left insemination duct (in ventral view) makes a full clockwise spiral coil prior to joining spermatheca................. 4 – Left seminal duct joins directly to spermatheca without following a spiral path................................... 5 4. Spermatheca round with the spiral in the seminal duct visible anterior to the spermatheca (in ventral view)...... P. eungella – Spermatheca pear-shaped with spiral in the seminal duct hidden under the spermatheca (in ventral view)....... P. amplior 5. Cephalothorax length> 2.1mm , seminal duct relatively long and forming ‘S’ bends before joining spermatheca.. P. bulburin – Cephalothorax length < 2.1mm , seminal duct relative short and directly (no ‘S’ bends) joining spermatheca.............. 6 6. Spermatheca narrow, longitudinal extension of the seminal duct, found from southern Queensland to South Australia ................................................................................................... P. pallida – Copulatory openings well in advance of the spermathecae, strongly sclerotised and separated by less than the width across the pair of spermathecae....................................................................... P. boreoxantha Key: Males (Taken from Richardson & Zabka (2007) ; F=femur, T=tibia, M=metatarsus) 1. Chelicera and clupeus mid- to dark brown coloured.......................................................... 2 – Chelicera and clupeus yellow or orange, occasionally with dark markings........................................ 3 2. M1 and T 1 fringed, F1 with brown and yellow patches, occasionally almost entirely brown, legs, F2–4 yellow/orange... P. amplior – M1 and T1 not fringed, F1-4 dark brown........................................................ P. boreoaitha 3. Clupeus with orange or white fringe...................................................................... 4 – Clupeus without orange or white fringe................................................................... 5 4. F1 orange with strong double fringe on M1, body length> 4.5mm , central Queensland M1 with sparse or no fringe, T1 yellow, from central Queensland ....................................................................... P. eungella – F1 yellow with single fringe varying from almost absent to strong, body length 3.5–5, southern Queensland to South Australia ........................................................................................... 5 5. T1 with thick double fringe.................................................................. P. boreoxantha – T1 with sparse or no fringe............................................................................. 6 6. M1 with double fringe, T1 orange, from King Island and SW Victoria .................................. P. basilonessa – M1 with sparse or no fringe, T1 yellow, from central Queensland ....................................... P. eungella
