D09D470BADAFF90AB045FD46220EFCAE.taxon	description	Carapace sclerotized, rounded in front, rather high; clypeus rounded. Chelicerae strong, with three large anterior teeth and two posterior denticles or teeth. Legs relatively short and strong; first subequal to fourth. First patella-tibia equal to carapace length or slightly shorter. Abdomen oval. Colulus large. Abdomen uniformly colored without pattern. Palpus with all sclerites present, but reduced, and relatively simple in shape (probably secondarily) (Figs. 290, 291). Cymbium widest at proximal end, tapering to a relatively narrow tip. Paracymbial hook on margin (Fig. 291).	en	Levi, H. W., Levi, L. R. (1962): The genera of the spider family Theridiidae.

D09D470BADAFF90AB045FD46220EFCAE.taxon	diagnosis	Separated from Comaroma by having eight eyes or anterior medians subequal to the others and from Enoplognatha by having several denticles on the posterior chelicerai margin, by not having male chelicerae enlarged, and by lacking a pattern on the dorsum of the abdomen.	en	Levi, H.

7780DA31CC31738641B0961C7E2B5F14.taxon	description	Carapace as in Steatoda, but heavily sclerotized. Six eyes, or if eight, then diameter of anterior medians less than radius of posterior eyes. Chelicerae strong with three anterior teeth and posterior denticles. First and fourth legs subequal. First patellatibia slightly short er than carapace. Tarsus slightly longer than metatarsus. Abdomen very heavliy sclerotized. Large colulus. Small size, less than 1.5 mm total length. Epigynum with openings indistinct. Palpus with paracymbium on rim of cymbium, median apophysis reduced in size and not functional in holding bulb against cymbium; embolus of complex shape (Fig. 294).	en	Levi, H. W., Levi, L. R.

7780DA31CC31738641B0961C7E2B5F14.taxon	diagnosis	Separated from Phoroncidia and Pholcomma by large colulus, from Robertus by heavy selerotization of abdomen and reduced anterior median eyes. This genus may be close to Symphytognathidae.	en	Levi, H. W., Levi, L. R. (1962): The genera of the spider family Theridiidae.

A279169CA67705EA6470BB96B6A6F8DE.taxon	description	Carapace of male with eye and clypeal region usually swollen, projecting, or with a seam below eyes (Figs. 299, 301). Chelicerae with one to several teeth on anterior margin, one, and sometimes denticles, on posterior margin. Legs sometimes long, first longest. Comb often absent or reduced to a few setae. Fourth tarsal claws shifted and facing retro-laterally (or comb possibly prolateral). Middle tarsal elaw longer than laterals (Fig. 6). Abdomen sometimes higher than long, but usually extending beyond spinnerets, filiform or often with tubercles on posterior end (Figs. 303 - 305). Large colulus usually with only two setae.
