Type species.

Sarotes promptus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885 .

Small to large Heteropodinae . Species can be diagnosed by: 1) conductor membranous (some species reduced or entirely absent); 2) embolus broadened and flattened (at least in its proximal part); 3) retrolateral tibial apophysis arising proximally or mesially from the tibia; 4) lateral lobes of epigyne distinctly extend beyond the epigastric furrow, covering the median septum in most species; 5) first winding membranous, with bent margins in most species; and 6) first winding or first winding and lateral lobes covering the internal duct system in dorsal view (modified from Jäger 2000, Jiang et al. 2018 and Zhang et al. 2023).
