3.1 Dicoxiseta Wang, Tan & Yang , gen. nov.

Type species. Dicoxiseta litsea Wang, Tan & Yang , sp. nov.

Diagnosis. Body fusiform, gradually tapered, gnathosoma curved obliquely downward, dorsal pedipalp genual setae normal, prodorsal shield with frontal lobe, scapular setae (sc) set on rear margin and directed backward, prosternal apodeme present, anterolateral setae on coxisternum І (1b) absent, tarsal empodium entire, all usual leg and body setae present; dorsal opisthosoma evenly rounded, ventral opisthosomal annuli sculptured with microtubercles and differentiated into broader dorsal and narrower ventral annuli.

This new genus is close to Siracharus Chandrapatya & Boczek, 2000 by the scapular tubercles set on rear shield margin, scapular setae (sc) directed backward and divergently, anterolateral setae on coxisternum І (1b) absent, all venter and legs with usual setae. It is different from Siracharus by the body is gradually tapered, dorsal and ventral opisthosomal annuli are sculptured with microtubercles and differentiated into broader dorsal and narrower ventral annuli. In Siracharus , the body is strongly tapered, dorsal and ventral annuli are smooth and equally broad ( Chandrapatya & Boczek, 2000).
