Genus Conothele Thorell, 1878

Type.

Conothele malayana (Doleschall, 1859): 5, pl. 5, figure 8 (described female).

Diagnosis.

The genus Conothele can be distinguished from the genus Ummidia by their burrowing habits, the former constructs a short, parallel to the surface of ground, superficial burrow, whereas the latter digs a several centimeters long burrow in the soil (Haupt 2006). Moreover, Conothele distributes in the Oriental and Australian regions, whereas Ummidia is only found from New World and the Mediterranean region (Haupt 2006; Siliwal et al. 2009; World Spider Catalog 2016).
