Genus Hahnia C.L. Koch, 1841

Type species. Hahnia pusilla C.L. Koch, 1841

Remarks. The type genus of Hahniidae , Hahnia , is the largest genus of this family. But obviously, it is not monophyletic, including nearly one hundred species from Africa, Europe, Asia, North and South America. Judged from the type species, H. pusilla from Europe, Hahnia s. str. seems to have the combined characters as follows: generally eight eyes ( H. senaria Zhang, Li & Zheng, 2011 excluded), spiracle located in the middle between epigastric furrow and spinnerets in both sexes; male chelicerae with stridulatory files laterally, male palp with a hook-like patellar apophysis, almost semicircular and with a pointed RTA, filiform embolus originating retrolaterally, a membranous median apophysis retrolatero-distally, sometimes tegular setae ( H. himalayaensis Hu & Zhang, 1990 ) and a deep cymbial furrow retrolaterally; epigyne with a pair of copulatory openings, located in a large atrium ( H. thorntoni Brignoli, 1982 ) or not ( H. pusilla ), copulatory ducts long ( H. himalayaensis ) or short ( H. pusilla ), spherical subspermathecae, smaller than spermathecae and anteriorly located, a pair of hoods generally located behind the epigastric furrow.
