Truncattus Zhang & Maddison 2012

Description

Truncattus Zhang & Maddison, 2012

Truncattus ZHang & Maddison, 2012b: 47 (type species: Truncattus flavus ZHang & Maddison, 2012, original designation).

Diagnosis. Truncattus Zhang & Maddison, 2012 is similar to Antillattus Bryant, 1943 and Emathis Simon, 1899. It differs from Antillattus by the unmodified male chelicerae and endites, and from Emathis by the bicuspid retromarginal tooth on the chelicera (three or more cusps in Emathis). It is also similar to Caribattus Bryant, 1950 in color pattern, but can be distinguished by the bicuspid retromarginal tooth in Truncattus (Caribattus has one unident retromarginal tooth), and the presence of a proximal tegular lobe on the male palp (absent in Caribattus) (Zhang & Maddison 2012b: 47).
