Subfamily Scytodinae Blackwall, 1864

Type genus. Scytodes Latreille, 1804

Diagnosis. Males of Scytodinae differ from those of Scyloxinae subfam. n. by the palp with bulb inserted subapically and cymbium with apical digitiform extension bearing blunt macrosetae (Figs 3G–H, 5A–D, 8F–G, 11G–J) (vs. bulb inserted apically on cymbium, lacking digitiform extension and blunt macrosetae in Scyloxinae subfam. n.). Females differ by the presence of pair of epigynal postepigastric fovea and positioning ridges (Figs 3I, 6A, 9A–B, 12A) (vs. absent in Scyloxinae subfam. n.).
