Diagnosis. Species of this genus appear somewhat ant-like ( Bohdanowicz 1987; Logunov & Hereward 2006; Yin et al. 2012). Carapace stippled, with well-marked fovea. Eye field square. Cervical groove clearly presents near the middle of posterior eye row. Chelicerae with 2 promarginal teeth and 1 large laminar retromarginal tooth (usually with a bifurcated tip). Sternum shield-shaped. Leg I with very long and stout spines on metatarsi and tibiae I. Male palp includes the triangular apophysis on patella, usually a strongly sclerotized, retrolateral, tibial apophysis, a posterior apophysis on dorsal cymbium, a spiral base of embolus and a developed median apophysis ( Bohdanowicz 1987; Logunov & Hereward 2006). Female epigyne usually has obvious, developed copulatory duct and oval spermathecae. Some of them include a glandular duct in copulatory duct ( Bohdanowicz 1987).
