Type species.

Leptoneta striata Oi, 1952 from Japan.

Diagnosis.

The genus Falcileptoneta is similar to Leptoneta and Longileptoneta in having few sclerites on the male palpal bulb and absenting cribellum but can be distinguished by the following combination of male palpal characters: femur lacking strong spines, tibia usually with complex apophyses on the retrolateroapical end (Figs 1D , 3D ), tarsus with shallow, transverse depression (Figs 1D , 3D ) and the bulb usually with sickle-like or membranous embolus and complex laminae (Figs 1B-D , 3B-D ).
