Genus Fernandezina Birabén, 1951 View in CoL View at ENA

Remarks. Males of this genus are easily recognized by the posteriorly extended abdominal scutum (Platnick, 1975, fig. 80), and both sexes differ from other otiothopines in having an unexpanded femur I (Platnick, 1975, fig. 85). There are currently ten described species from Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Guyana, plus one probably misplaced species from China (Platnick 2012).
