Family Psechridae Simon, 1890

For family diagnosis and generic key, see Bayer (2011, p. 7). In that study one character was not included: The inferior claw (3rd claw) on the apical portion of each leg-tarsus is toothed, which was previously emphasised by Lehtinen (1967) and Levi (1982). In Psechrus , proximal to the actual claw (primary tooth), there is generally one additional tooth ( Fig. 1 A; Levi 1982, fig. 6), and in Fecenia generally two or three. For Fecenia ochracea (Doleschall, 1859) see Levi (1982, fig. 72), for F. p rot en s a see herein ( Fig. 1 B).
