Paracymbiomma gen. nov.

Etymology. The generic name is a contraction of paracymbium and Lygromma , since the paracymbium is one of the diagnostic structures of the genus. Gender is neuter.

Type species. Paracymbiomma angelim (original designation).

Diagnosis. Species of Paracymbiomma gen.nov. are distinguished from those of other Prodidomidae genera by the combination of the following characters: male palp with paracymbium and RTA single ( Figs 45 View FIGURES 43–48 , 54 View FIGURES 53–56 , 61 View FIGURES 61–64 ), embolus long and filiform with curved tip ( Figs 43, 47 View FIGURES 43–48 , 49 View FIGURES 49–52 , 61 View FIGURES 61–64 ), conductor sclerotized ( Figs 53, 55 View FIGURES 53–56 , 57) and median apophysis membranous with sclerotized tip ( Figs 53 View FIGURES 53–56 , 49 View FIGURES 49–52 , 61 View FIGURES 61–64 , 69–74 View FIGURES 69–74 ); female epigyne with posteromedian atrium and sclerotized margins ( Figs. 51 View FIGURES 49–52 , 59, 63 View FIGURES 61–64 , 67 View FIGURES 65–68 ), vulva with copulatory ducts long, strongly convoluted laterally with proximal part (closest to copulatory openings) translucent ( Figs 52 View FIGURES 49–52 , 68 View FIGURES 65–68 ); secondary spermathecae elongated ( Figs 60, 64 View FIGURES 61–64 ).
