Phrurolithus C. L. Koch

Description

Genus Phrurolithus C.L. Koch

Phrurolithus C.L. Koch, 1839. Die Arachniden 6: 105.

The genus Phrurolithus closely resembles Castianeira; however, the former has uniformly colored carapace, ranging from dark shiny chestnut to black, without conspicuous contrasting markings. Also, the AE row is slightly shorter than PE row, AME not larger than ALE, and posterior eye row either straight or slightly procurved. Carapace sharply narrowed in the cephalic region. Tibial apophysis in the male pedipalp bears two distinct prongs, fused basally, and the femur has a small but conspicuous apophysis ventrally, set with stiff hairs either at the middle or at proximal end.

Abdomen of males and females provided with dorsal scutum.
