Genus Luzonacera Li & Li, 2017
Type species.
Luzonacera chang Li & Li, 2017
Emended diagnosis.
Luzonacera resembles Althepus Thorell, 1898 and Leclercera Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995. However, Luzonacera can be differentiated by the combination of the following characteristics: 1) absence of a conductor (versus presence of a conductor in both Althepus and Leclercera ); 2) absence of a retrolateral protrusion on the tibia or cymbium of the male palp (versus presence of a retrolateral protrusion on the tibia or cymbium of the male palp in Althepus and Leclercera ); 3) remarkably inflated tibia of the male palp; 4) pyriform bulb with spirally extended embolus; and 5) two pairs of spermathecae, the lateral spermathecae with longer stalks than the medial spermathecae.
