Platnick, Norman I., Berniker, Lily & Víquez, Carlos, 2014, A New Goblin Spider Genus of the Zyngoonops Group from Costa Rica, With Notes on Coxapopha (Araneae, Oonopidae), American Museum Novitates 2014 (3820), pp. 1-1 : 1-

Hexapopha , new genus

TYPE SPECIES: Xestaspis reimoseri Fage (1938) .

ETYMOLOGY: The generic name refers to the presence of six eyes and the similarities to Coxapopha , and is feminine in gender.

DIAGNOSIS: These spiders are easily recognized as members of the Zyngoonops group of genera by the heavily sclerotized endites of males (figs. 49, 79, 114). The combined presence of six eyes, a palpal conductor in males, and a female epigastric region without an external orifice or scape distinguishes these species from those of the other described genera of the group. Additional differences from Zyngoonops , Antoonops , and Coxapopha are discussed in the Introduction.
