Genus Synagelides Strand, 1906

Type species.

Synagelides agoriformis Strand, 1906 ; type locality Japan.

Comments.

Synagelides is placed in the tribe Agoriini Simon, 1901 ( Maddison, 2015). To date, 78 nominal species have been described from east to southeast Asia, of which more than 60 % are recorded from China ( WSC 2024). The genus is relatively well studied because all its species are known from diagnostic drawings. However,> 41 % of its species are only known from a single sex. The species described below are consistent in having hollowed fovea, two promarginal teeth and one retromarginal tooth on chelicerae, sub-triangular prolateral femoral apophysis ( PFA), enlarged male palpal patella with a disto-prolateral bump ( PB), and short male palpal tibia with a flat and broad ventral process ( VTP).
