Genus Cebrenninus Simon, 1887

Type species: Cebrenninus rugosus Simon, 1887 Figs 5 C, 5F, 8B, 8E–F, 27A–E, 28A–F, 29A–F

Cebrenninus Simon, 1887: 486 . Type species by original designation, Cebrenninus rugosus Simon, 1887 . Examined. Libania Thorell, 1890b: 149 . Type species by original designation Libania armillata Thorell, 1890 , type depository unknown. Not examined.

Diagnosis. Separated from other thomisid genera by a combination of the following characters: Presence of a large stout RTA, presence of a free embolus that originates at the center of the bulb and the presence of a SDT inward turn in the male palp. Males also possess a second tegular sclerite, the ETP ( Figs 27 B, 31A). Females could be separated from all other Thomisidae except for Ascurisoma Strand, 1928 by the presence of large globular spermathecae and the presence of a CD that is not longer than the thickness of the wall of S. Ascurisoma might be a synonym of Cebrenninus .

Composition. 6 species, not well known except for the type species and Cebrenninus srivijaya sp. nov.,
