Genus Gramenca n. gen.

TYPE SPECIES. — Gramenca prima n. gen., n. sp.

ETYMOLOGY. — The generic name is derived from the Latin word “gramen” meaning “grass” and refers to the habitat of the type species. Gender feminine.

DIAGNOSIS AND AFFINITIES. — Small spider, body length c. 3 mm, carapace high. This genus is characterised by the very large epigyne, the form of which is unique (see description of species). The structure of the female genitalia resembles those of the probably related genus Parajotus Peckham & Peckham, 1903 , but epigynal pockets are in different position, they are situated more anteriorly and wider spaced. Gramenca n. gen. differs also in the presence of accessory glands.
