Genus Camptoscaphiella Caporiacco, 1934

Type species.

Camptoscaphiella fulva Caporiacco, 1934, by monotypy.

Diagnosis.

Males of this genus can easily be separated from all other oonopid genera by the heart-shaped sternum with conical projection on the anterolateral corners, spination of the first two legs (tibia I and II with four pairs of long spines, and metatarsus I and II with two pairs of long spines); the extremely large, club-shaped palpal patella; and a cymbium that is not fused with the bulb. Females of this genus are similar to those of Ischnothyreus Simon, 1893, but can be separated by lacking the distinct, darkly sclerotized, strongly winding duct and uniquely shaped atrium (revised from Baehr and Harvey 2013).

Distribution.

China (Yunnan), New Caledonia, South Asia (Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia (Thailand).
