Genus Stebbingdromia Guinot & Tavares, 2003

Because of the poorly avalaible material of S. plumosa ( Lewinsohn, 1984) , it was unfortunately not possible to prepare the skeleton and observe the spermathecae. This genus is peculiar among the Dromiinae because it possesses short female sutures 7/8, with apertures ending apart on very slight prominences between the P3 (even in mature females, McLay, 2001a: 85, 86), i.e. not far from gonopores on the P3. In the two females that were examined these apertures were hidden beneath sperm plugs, so that their precise shape is unknown ( Guinot & Tavares, 2003: 92, 94, fig. 17C).
