Sulsula Simon, and Dalmas 1916

Description

Sulsula Simon

Sulsula Simon, 1882: 237 (type species by monotypy Sulsula longipes Simon).

Salsula: Simon, 1893: 294.

NOTE: Simon (1893) regarded the original spelling of the genus as a printer’s error, but the spelling occurs twice in Simon (1882) and his alternate spelling was rejected by Dalmas (1916: 204) and subsequent authors.

DIAGNOSIS: Members of Sulsula resemble those of Dalmasula in having a globose abdomen (figs. 143, 144), but can be distinguished by the absence of cheliceral teeth, the much smaller colulus (fig. 158; cf. figs. 188, 273, 274), and the uniquely modified tarsal organs, which have a distal, semicircular groove as well as a pair of laterally directed ridges (figs. 168–172). Males have a simple embolus, without a conductor (figs. 127, 128), and the female genital area lacks the anterior sclerotizations found in Dalmasula (fig. 136).
