Etymology.
From the Greek Δεɩνώ, one of the Graeae (
Loman
1893: 17, footnote
).
Remarks.
Roewer (1923)
gives 1892 as the publication date of the name
Dino
. The volume by Max Weber is dated 1894, but some individual parts surely appeared earlier. Both Neave’s
Nomenclator zoologicus
and the Zoological Record give 1893 for Loman’s chapter, which is the date I use here, in the absence of any other source of information on the precise publication date.
Diagnosis.
Epedanidae
with peltidium subrectangular, sides concave. Ocularium absent, eyes situated on separated, individual eyemounds. Basichelicerite elongate and very slender. Pedipalpal trochanter and femur armed ventrally with strong spines. Femur short and curved distally. Patella ventro-mesally with 1 spine, ventro-ectally unarmed. Leg I strongly enlarged (femur
I 75
% as long as peltidium and thicker than pedipalpal femur). Tarsal counts 6(2)/14(2)/6/7.
