PSEUDANAPIS SIMON

Pseudanapis Simon, 1905, p. 64 (type species by monotypy Anapis paroculus Simon ).

Gossiblemma Roewer, 1963, p. 129 (type species by monotypy Gossiblemma yapensis Roewer ); first synonymized by Shear, 1978，p. 8.

Diagnosis: Specimens of Pseudanapis can be distinguished from other anapids by the coarsely punctate carapace, sternum, and ventral abdominal scutum (figs. 44-49), by a pattern of two femoral, one or two patellar, and no tibial apophyses on the male palp (figs. 50-53)，and by the subequally long legs I and IV.

Description: Forster (1959) has provided a detailed description of P. aloha that (except, of course, for genitalic details) can also serve as a generic description. Only differences from P. aloha are noted in the species descriptions below (the trichobothriotaxy has not been checked in each species).
