Diagnosis (following Raven 2005 and West and Nunn 2010): With oval patch of modified setae (often bacillate) on prolateral maxillary face, originating medially, not ventrally from the oral fringe, opposing strong spiniform setae (strikers) on the ectal cheliceral surface to create stridulation: maxillary lyra reduced or absent in some genera, cheliceral strikers retained, sternal sigilla largely removed from sternal margins, many labial cuspules (>300), leg spines found only distally on metatarsi, tibial apophyses on leg I in mature males absent.
