Genus Emathis Simon, 1899 View in CoL View at ENA

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.
