Family Pacullidae Simon, 1894 View in CoL
Remarks. The fossil genus † Furcembolus was first assigned to Pacullidae by Magalhaes et al. (2020). Pacullidae can be distinguished from Tetrablemmidae by their larger size (total length 3.0–9.0), heavily rugose cuticle and by lacking a pair of large membranous receptacles in the female genitalia ( Shear 1978; Lehtinen 1981; Wheeler et al. 2017). Though characters concerning female genitalia are almost impossible to observe in fossil specimens, † Furcembolus can be assigned to Pacullidae by their size (>3.0) and rugose cuticle.
