TypE gEnus Uduba SImOn, 1880 : 343 (TypE spEcIEs by mOnOtypy: Olios madagascariensis VInsOn, 1863)
Diagnosis. Udubidae are supported by several homoplastic synapomorphies (Polotow et al. 2015: fig. 6), which can be used to distinguish them from other Oval Calamistrum clade families: absence of a serrula on the movable chela of the chelicerae, tibia of male palp with ventral apophysis, oval cross section of the embolus, tarsal organ with a key-hole shaped opening ( Fig. 1E View FIGURE 1 ), tarsal trichobothria of equal length, male leg tibiae with crack ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ), uniquely textured spermathecae and elongated posterior lateral spinnerets.
Composition. Campostichomma Karsch, 1892 ; Raecius Simon, 1892 ; Uduba Simon, 1880 and Zorodictyna Strand, 1907 .
Distribution. Tropical and sub-tropical Africa, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka.
Note. Campostichomma was not included as a terminal in the Polotow et al. (2015) analysis, but the genus presents the diagnostic morphological characters of Udubidae . Lehtinen (1967: 318) placed Campostichomma in his Machadoniinae (Miturgidae) along with Devendra . The close relationship of Campostichomma and Uduba was first proposed by Griswold (1993), recovered by Raven & Stumkat (2005) and was discussed by Griswold (2000) as a potential case of vicariance between Madagascar and Sri Lanka.
