References
- Character 1. Dorsal side of mt I and II. (0) Unmodified; (1) equipped with a peculiar set of setae arranged in a full circle (fig. 6a, b). Mt. I and II of all Hortipes species bear a peculiar ellipsoidal array of setae on their dorsal side, which is described in the genus description and in Ledoux and Emerit (1998). No other known spider genus has this feature.
- Character 2. Patellar indentation. (0) Closed; (1) open. The patellar indentation (Ledoux and Canard, 1991: fig. 15; Ledoux and Emerit, 1998: 158) is a notch situated at the posterior side of the pa. It is thin and narrow, almost closed, in most liocranids including Andromma, whereas it is relatively short and wide in Coryssiphus and Hortipes (fig. 2g).
- Character 6. Flattened feathery hairs. (0) Absent; (1) present. Flattened feathery hairs (Griswold, 1993: fig. 61; Townsend and Felgenhauer, 1998: fig. 8) are present on abdomen and legs of all Hortipes species but absent in Andromma and Coryssiphus.
