. Diagnosis. The family Pisauridae View in CoL can be distinguished from both Trechaleidae View in CoL and Lycosidae View in CoL by the combination of the following characters: the nursery web that the female produces surrounding the egg sac, and the egg sac carried by the chelicerae ( Zhang et al., 2004), but these behaviors can also be observed in the representatives of Ancylometes Bertkau, 1880 ( Santos, 2007a) View in CoL . It also differs from Trechaleidae View in CoL in the median apophysis of the male palpus, which is neither large nor distally situated, and lacking a dorsal embolic groove that extends distally into an apical groove and the absence of a ‘‘skirt’’ on the seam of the discoid egg sac ( Carico 1993: 230, fig. 6). It can be distinguished from Lycosidae View in CoL by the posterior eye row not strongly recurved, and the male palpus usually with a retrolateral tibial apophysis ( Zhang et al., 2004). The presence of the distal tegular projection (DTP) and the presence of a tarsal apical pseudosegment could represent possible synapomorphies of Pisauridae View in CoL , pointed out by Santos (2007a), but the latter is also found in Trechaleidae View in CoL .
