Type species: Viribestus suyanensis Zhang & Maddison View in CoL , sp. nov.

Etymology. The generic name is from the combination of virilis (virile) and bestia (animal), referring to the masculine nature of the male spider; masculine in gender.

Diagnosis. Similar in body form and presence of a lamella accompanying the embolus to Colyttus Thorell , but differs in the flat protrusion on the front surface of the male chelicera ( Fig. 287), the absence of proximal tegular lobe and the forked retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male palp ( Figs 288–289). Also differs from Canama Simon and Bathippus Thorell in the wide carapace ( Fig. 286), the wide palpal bulb ( Figs 288–289), the presence of a flat protrusion on the front surface of the male chelicera ( Fig. 287), the presence of a lamella right beside the embolus and the forked retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male palp ( Figs 288–289).
