Etymology.
Chosen to resemble the name
Chalcolecta
; feminine in gender.
Diagnosis.
Medium-sized spiders with narrow bodies and slender legs. First pair of legs with many ventral macrosetae. Similar in general body form, fissident retromarginal tooth on chelicera and two-chambered spermathecae to
Chalcolecta
Simon
(see
Gardziṅska & Żabka 2005
), but differs in the lateral margins of the carapace which are almost parallel instead of convex in
Chalcolecta
(
Fig. 91
); the thin femur, patella and tibia of the first pair of legs which are not much thicker than metatarsus and tarsus (
Fig. 91
); the presence of four pairs of ventral macrosetae on the female first metatarsus (three pairs in
Chalcolecta
); the presence of distinct median septum in the epigynum (
Fig. 93
) and the absence of accessory glands in the vulva (
Figs 94–95
). Unpublished molecular data also indicate
Chalcolemia
and
Chalcolecta
are distinct genera.
Chalcolemia
also resembles
Gambaquezonia
Barrion & Litsinger 1995
(also see
Edwards 2009
) in the delicate body and the presence of a fissident retromarginal tooth on the chelicera, but differs in the much slender legs and the narrower body (
Fig. 91
); the PLEs closer to the lateral margins of the carapace (
Fig. 91
); and the presence of large secondary spermatheca in addition to the primary spermatheca in the vulva (
Figs 94–95
).
