Uthina Simon 1893: 476 . Type species Uthina luzonica Simon, 1893, by original designation.

Diagnosis. This genus can be distinguished from all known pholcid genera by the combination of a cylindrical opisthosoma, the presence of six eyes, two pairs of apophyses (proximo-lateral and disto-frontal) on the male chelicerae (Figs 48, 55), a ‘knee’ and the absence of dorsal spines on the procursus (Figs 44–45, 53–54), a curved uncus (Figs 44, 53) and a usually slender bulbal appendix (Figs 45, 54), as well as by the presence of a ‘knob’ on the barely sclerotized epigyne (Huber 2011a).
