Bristowia Reimoser, 1934: 17 , Fgs 1–3. Type species: B. heterospinosa Reimoser, 1934 .

Diagnosis

Spiders of this genus are easily distinguishable by the elongated coxa, trochanter and patella of the Frst legs, the peculiar spination of the metatarsus (2 pairs of ventral spines) and tibia I (4 prolateral and 3 retrolateral spines), and the patella and tibia with a ventral fringe of black hairs ( Ono et al. 2009; Prószyński 1984; Reimoser 1934; Seo 1986; Szüts 2004). They have a longer prosoma with a thoracic fovea, and pluridentate chelicerae. The structure of the copulatory organs is relatively simple. The male palp has a single procurved retrolateral tibial apophysis, a thin embolus, and a pear-shaped tegulum. The epigynum has large, globular, spermathecae with broad insemination ducts, and a circular hollow copulatory opening ( Dobroruka 2004; Ikeda 1995).
