The epigynal glands appear to be organized in two parts: the proximal part is balloon-shaped, and the distal part tube-shaped or pedicel-like, entering in a large pit in the tegument and leading to a tiny pore in the outer surface. The size difference of the pores in the outer and inner side may be surprising. In Foelix (2010) (fig. 2.33C p.46), one can see a section of a dermal gland and the important constriction of the canal at the level of the outer cuticle. Furthermore, it could be traced for the “lollipop” epigynal gland (see

A detailed study of the morphology and distribution of the femoral organ in the subfamily Zodariinae is under way.

was part of the Zodariinae as it has the femoral organ. Actually, both these genera are characterized by the presence of preening brushes with chisel-shaped setae (characteristic for the Storeninae) and two femoral organs present on each femur. As a consequence, Jocqué (1992) fused the two subfamilies into the Zodariinae.
