Genus Toticoryx n. gen.

TYPE SPECIES. — Toticoryx exilis n. gen., n. sp.

ETYMOLOGY. — The generic name is a arbitrary combination of letters. Gender masculine.

DIAGNOSIS AND AFFINITIES. — Very small and flat spi- der, body slender, its length c. 3 mm. Habitus of this genus resembles Pseudicius Simon, 1885 , but the internal structure of the epigyne is unique; seminal ducts extremely short, pass into a big spherical reservoirs, the latter connected with spherical receptacles by intermediate canals. The structure of the female genitalia resembles that of the unrelated genus Simaetha Thorell, 1881 , distributed in the Oriental and Australian Regions (see Zabka 1994). Relationships of Toticoryx n. gen. are unclear and demand examination of the male.
