The antoni group (figs 194–197, 202, 203, 207, 215–218 in Levi 1957) can be distinguished from the maculata and sterninotata groups by the following combination of characteristics: (1) the ventral part of the median apophysis is anteriorly elongate and pointed; (2) the embolus extends to the dorsal bulb; (3) the diameters of the posterior part of the copulatory ducts are almost as wide as the spermathecae.</p><p>Composition. Platnickina alabamensis (Gertsch &amp; Archer, 1942), P. antoni (Keyserling, 1884), and P. punctosparsa (Emerton, 1882) .</p><p>Distribution. North America.</p><p>The maculata group</p><p>Diagnosis. The maculata group (Figs 1 A – E, 2 A – C, 3, 4, 6, 7; figs 359–363 in Levy 1998; figs 46–49 in Yoshida 2001; figs 61, 62, 63 A, B, 64 in Gao and Li 2014) can be distinguished from the antoni and sterninotata groups by the following combination of characteristics: (1) the broad tegular apophysis; (2) the thick and cow-horn-shaped embolus (except Platnickina obscuratum (Zhu, 1998), comb. nov.); (3) the copulatory ducts straight or slightly curved (except S-shaped in P. qionghaiensis (Zhu, 1998)), as long as or shorter than the diameters of spermathecae.</p><p>The copulatory organs of the maculata group are similar to those of Simitidion Wunderlich, 1992 in having a cow-horn-shaped embolus and an epigynal atrium (cf. Figs 1 A – E, 2 A – C, 3, 4, 6, 7; figs 359–363 in Levy 1998; figs 46–49 in Yoshida 2001; figs 61, 62, 63 A, B, 64 in Gao and Li 2014 and figs 595–604 in Wunderlich 1992; figs 1–16 in Knoflach 1996; figs 145–148 in Agnarsson 2007) but can be distinguished from Simitidion by: (1) the tegulum ventrally with a pit and the basal part of the embolus with a process; the two structures form a locking mechanism (vs without a locking mechanism between the tegulum and embolus); (2) the median apophysis is separate from the tegular apophysis (vs the median apophysis is fused with the tegular apophysis); (3) the tegular apophysis is wider than the embolus, short and not extending beyond the cymbium, (vs almost as thin as the embolus, long, and extending beyond the cymbium); (4) the copulatory openings without depression (vs with one or two deep depressions).</p><p>Composition.
