Type species.

Longileptoneta songniensis Seo, 2015 from South Korea.

Diagnosis.

The genus Longileptoneta is similar to Falcileptoneta and Leptoneta in having few sclerites on the bulb and absenting cribellum but can be distinguished by the following combination of male palpal characters: femur with many strong spines (Figs 5C, D , 8A, B , 10C, D ); tibia without apophyses or with simple apophyses (Figs 5D , 7D , 8B , 10D ); tarsus usually with the prolateral curvature bearing prolaterodistal spurs (Figs 5C, D , 8A, B , 10C, D ); bulb usually with leaf-like embolus, narrow and nearly ribbon-like prolateromesal sclerites, serrated tip, transparent and tongue-like retrolateral sclerite (Figs 5B-D , 7B-D , 10B-D ).
