Type species
Synemosyna formica Hentz, 1846 View in CoL (by original designation).
Diagnosis (modified from Perger & Rubio 2020a)
Species of Synemosyna can be distinguished from those of Fluda Peckham & Peckham, 1892 and Erica Peckham & Peckham, 1892 by a carapace laterally constricted (continuous in the latter genera) and an epigyne with a single opening (2–3 in the latter genera), and from those of Sympolymnia Perger & Rubio, 2020 by a fusiform abdomen that is longer than the carapace, the carapace with at the most one lateral white patch, and spermathecae small, globular, pear- or kidney-shaped (abdomen ovate, carapace with 2 lateral white patches and spermathecae lung-shaped in Sympolymnia ). Cylistella Simon, 1901 has a rounded, beetle-like habitus without constrictions and is the morphologically most distinct group within this tribe.
Key to adults of Bolivian species of Synemosyna
1. Constriction between cephalic and thoracic parts weakly defined laterally, only slightly narrower than both parts ( Figs 3A, C View Fig , 4A, C View Fig ) .................................................................................................. 2
– Constriction between cephalic and thoracic parts distinct laterally, considerably narrower than both parts ( Figs 3B View Fig , 4B View Fig ) ........................................................... S. myrmeciaeformis ( Taczanowski, 1871) View in CoL
2. Males ................................................................................................................................................. 3
– Females ............................................................................................................................................. 4
3. Tibial apophysis of male palp with obtuse dorsal tooth ............ S. aurantiaca ( Mello-Leitão, 1917) View in CoL
– Tibial apophysis of male palp bifurcate ( Fig. 5E View Fig ) ............................ S. nicaraguaensis Cutler, 1993 View in CoL
4. Copulatory ducts entering spermathecae anteriorly, approximately four times longer than spermathecae .............................................................................. S. aurantiaca ( Mello-Leitão, 1917) View in CoL
– Copulatory ducts enter spermathecae posteriorly, approximately twice the length of spermathecae ( Fig. 5D View Fig ) ........................................................................................... S. nicaraguaensis Cutler, 1993 View in CoL
