The annulipes View in CoL -group
The monophyly of the annulipes -groups is supported by a single synapomorphy: the digitiform lateral borders of the epigyne projecting inwards (Ch. 93, state 3).
Representatives of the annulipes -groups can be easily recognized by the dorsum of the opisthosoma provided with pairs of minute pale oblong spots (usually medially connected from fourth pair onwards) on sepia background. The legs are distinctly long compared to the body length and usually have a round proximal tubercle on the dorsal side of the anterior femora.
The flange-like RTA is only found in males of the redimita - and annulipes -group. Female genital structures show some characteristic features. The extended digitiform lateral border is not known to occur in other speciesgroups and its presence is regarded as autapomorphic for species of the annulipes -group.
