Latouchia fossoria Pocock, 1901: 211, pl. 21, fig. 2, female from China, by original designation; see Decae & Caranhac, 2020, 566, fig. 3, 17–26.

Diagnosis.

Latouchia can be distinguished from the other two genera of Ummidiinae, Conothele Thorell, 1878 and Ummidia Thorell, 1875, by the following combination of characters: (1) tibia III lacking a fully developed saddle depression; (2) female genitalia without a strongly sclerotized distal portion of the stalks (Figs 4 I – K, 6 G – J, 7 G, 8 G, 10, 12); and (3) male palp bearing a robust, stiff embolus (Figs 4 A – C, 5 C – H, 6 A – E, 7 A – F, 8 A – F, 9, 11). For further details, see Decae et al. (2021).
