Emathis Simon 1899

Description

Genus Emathis Simon, 1899

Description. Medium sized spiders. Chelicera with a fissident retromarginal tooth of multiple cusps. Embolus of male palp coiled for at least half a circle; tegulum lacking proximal lobe. Window of epigynum without obvious median septum. Copulatory duct sometimes convoluted (Prószyński 1984; Barrion & Litsinger 1995).

Remarks. Six species have been reported from Southeast Asia (Platnick 2012). The species previously described as Emathis from the Caribbean Islands have been transferred to the genus Petemathis (Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold 2012). A new species from Malaysia is described here.
