.— Cylindrical, vaguely ant-like spiders with armoured males of small to medium size, with spineless antior tibiae and metatarsi. The colour ranges from pale yellow to almost black. Species in the genus can be distinguished from other ground spiders with diagonally depressed endites by the juxtaposed and conical anterior spinnerets, the entire dorsal, epigastric and postgenital scutum in the abdomen in males. In females there is only a tripartite epigastric scutum.

Epigyne consisting of a usually large and rebordered depression anteriorly, often plugged with black substance, from which a funnel-shaped duct leads to the spermathecae. Openings in the corners of depression. Bursae present, thin-walled, often small. Insemination ducts join the ducts which connect bursae with spermathecae at a point usually close to bursae.
