Genus Thiania C. L. Koch, 1846 View in CoL View at ENA

Description. Medium sized spiders. Body usually flattened. Carapace almost rectangular. Male palpal bulb usually large; embolus usually wide and short and slightly curved (with the exception of T. tenuis ); proximal tegular lobe present or absent; retrolateral sperm duct loop present. Epigynal window present with a median septum.

Remarks. Thiania is similar in flattened body form and the male palpal structures to Nicylla Thorell ( Prószyński 1968) and Thianitara Simon (see Prószyński 1984). Unpublished molecular data suggest they fall in the same clade, and Nicylla and Thianitara probably need to be synonymized with Thiania .

Twenty species of Thiania have been reported ( Platnick 2012). Two new species from Malaysia are described here. Placement of T. tenuis within Thiania is partly based on unpublished molecular data.
