Etymology. The genus name is a combination of “
Luzon
” (refers to Luzon, the Philippine Island) with the typical ending among genus names within this family. Gender is feminine.
Diagnosis. The new genus is distinguished (together with
Leclercera
and
Althepus
) from all other genera of
Ochyroceratidae
by the large size, the presence of a denticle on the cheliceral promargin and the rounded maxillae. It is distinguished from
Leclercera
and
Althepus
by the absence of a retrolateral protrusion on the tibia or cymbium of the male palp and by the absence of a conductor.
Description. Cheliceral promargin with lamina and one denticle, retromargin with two denticles; male with swollen palpal tibia, cymbium with distal protrusion, palp lacking retrolateral tibial or cymbial apophysis, bulb pyriform, central part remarkably constricted, spiral whip-like embolus extending subapically, conductor lacking; female with two pairs of elongate, distally swollen spermathecae.
Distribution.
