Noideattella Álvarez-Padilla, Ubick and Griswold, 2012

TYPE SPECIES: Noideattella amboa Álvarez-Padilla et al., 2012 .

DIAGNOSIS: Noideattella species are similar to those of Silhouettella , Pelicinus , Lionneta , Tolegnaro , and Farqua . They differ from Silhouettella and Tolegnaro by the presence of stout spines on the lateral surfaces of tibia I and II and two pairs of spines on metatarsus II (figs. 47, 92, 93) and the absence of feathery scales on the pedicel area. They differ from Lionneta by the femora with lateral sides smooth and the embolus lamellae shorter, from Pelecinus by having shorter legs and embolar lamellae without a sail-shaped expansion, bordered proximally by a deep groove, and from Farqua by the absence of abdominal spots. In addition Noideattella species must have the following characters proposed in Álvarez-Padilla et al. (2012): abdomen covered completely by sclerotized scuta (figs. 25–27, 33–35); female internal genitalia with T-shaped anterior sclerite (figs. 32, 40, 63, 64 , 73); embolus curved approximately 90° at half its length, and divided into two lamellae armed with several apophyses (figs. 22, 30, 79. 80).
