Patrera Simon, 1903

Patrera Simon, 1903: 30 , type species: Patrera fulvastra Simon, 1903: 30 ; Brescovit, 1997: 31–36; Dupérré & Tapia 2016: 30–44 ; Martinez et al. 2021: 5 .

Diagnosis. Patrera identity was recently addressed by Martínez et al. (2021) and this is transcribed here: species of this genus is distinguished from others by the following characters combination: carapace sub-rectangular; tracheal spiracle between the middle of the abdomen and the epigastric groove; lateral margin of endites concave; male palp with subtegular projection. Females can be distinguished from Katissa Brescovit (1997) and Shuyushka Dupérré & Tapia (2016) by having a distinct sclerotized hood situated in the anterior region of the epigynum, which may be triangular, transversal or scape-shaped ( Brescovit, 1997:146, figs 51−52; Dupérré & Tapia 2016: 30−41, figs 44, 52, 58, 63; Martínez et al., 2021, figs 1F−G; 6F−G; 13F−G; 14F−G; 15F−G; 16F−G; 17F−G; 29F−G). Species of Patrera also can be distinguished from Shuyushka Dupérré & Tapia (2016) by the absence of a ventral patellar apophysis present in the after and of Lepajan Brescovit (1993) by the presence of chilum (see Dupérré & Tapia, 2016:21−29, figs 28−29, 33−34, 38−39; Brescovit, 1993:125−128, figs 1−8).
