Etymology.
The generic name is a combination of the Latin
folia
(leaf) and
habito
(dweller), referring to its habitat; masculine in gender.
Diagnosis.
Medium sized spiders. Chelicera with two promarginal teeth and one retromarginal tooth (
Figs 23, 25
). Abdomen with light colored stripes on dorsum (
Figs 19–20
). Embolus of male palp long and coiled for less a circle; proximal tegular lobe relatively small; retrolateral tibial apophysis finger-like (
Figs 21–22
). Epigynal window present, with a median septum (
Fig. 26
). Vulva with only one pair of spermathecae (
Fig. 27
). Similar in body form to
Donoessus
and
Colyttus
, but differs from them in the presence of light colored stripes on the abdomen (
Figs 19–20
); the longer and more coiled embolus, the smaller embolic disc, the indistinct proximal tegular lobe of the male palp (
Figs 21–22
); the presence of grooves within the epigynal window (
Fig. 26
).
Remarks.
Foliabitus scutigerus
(
Żabka, 1985
)
is transferred to this genus from
Laufeia
because of its similar male palp structures to the
type
species: embolus slender and coiled for less a circle, proximal tegular lobe indistinct and retrolateral tibial apophysis finger-like (
