Family Oonopidae Simon View in CoL View at ENA Subfamily Oonopinae Simon Ischnothyreus Simon

Ischnaspis Simon, 1891: 562 View in CoL (type species Ischnaspis peltifer Simon, 1891 , by monotypy) (preoccupied by Ischnaspis Douglas, 1887 View in CoL ; Hemiptera View in CoL ).

Ischnothyreus Simon, 1893: 298 View in CoL (replacement name for Ischnaspis View in CoL ).

Ischnothyrella Saaristo, 2001: 348 (type species by original designation Ischnothyreus jivani Benoit, 1979 View in CoL ). Synonymized by Platnick et al. (2012a: 6).

DIAGNOSIS: Ischnothryeus are small to medium-sized (1.4–3.5), scutate oonopids. The most distinctive characteristic of the members of this genus are the small, darkly colored, heavily sclerotized palps of the male spiders, held close to the mouthparts on the sternum (figs. 1H, 7H). The rest of the body and appendages are only weakly sclerotized, with dorsal and ventral scutes partially covering the abdomen to varying degrees (figs. 1A–F, 7A–F). Strong spines are positioned on the femora, tibiae, and metatarsi of legs I and II (figs. 20F, 27A–F, 29A–F, 38A, B). Eyes are relatively large, mostly touching each other, forming a ring (figs. 1G, 2A, 7G). The cymbium and bulb of the male pedipalps are fused but with a clearly defined seam. The bulb is usually elongated and gradually tapering, usually with an obtusely bent embolic region (figs. 4A, B, 8A, B). The female genitalia is unique with a median convoluted duct starting from the epigastric furrow, winding posteriorly, usually ending in a funnellike atrium (figs. 1I, 4F, 7I, 8F).
