Description
Figure 24. Facsimile of concise description of diagnostic characters of tribe Myrmarachnini (actually based on genus Myrmarachne) was published by Maddison (2015 - Journal of Arachnology 43(3): 231-292 -). Note difference in terminology, the "loops of copulatory ducts" mean apparently spermathecal detour twisted into coil, or coils, as well as proximal part of "pipes" beginning near posterior end of epigyne, name "spermatheca" is applied here only to distal part of "pipes", emerging anteriorly from coiled detour of "pipes". Sclerotized structure of "pipes" is uniform along their whole length, with continuous diameter and thickness of their walls. These are strikingly different from the true copulatory ducts (Figs 22 - dotted), membranous and transparent, not mentioned by Maddison, probably because they are visible only on well cleared epigyne, stained with Chlorazol Black E and examined under medium power of a compound microscope. Different shape of spermathecae of lesser genera (Fig. 22F-L), diagnostically important, are also not mentioned by Maddison.
