Genera: Drymusa Simon, 1891 View in CoL , Izithunzi gen. nov.
Distribution: From Neotropical and Andean regions ( Morrone, 2004, 2014) to South Africa.
Natural history: Drymusidae species hang beneath loose space webs hidden in wall crevices or below leaf litter. Females may build small, spherical, wrinkled egg sacs, which they carry with their chelicerae, or build huge, irregular egg sacs, which are covered with detritus and attached to the webs ( Valerio, 1974; Alayón, 1981; Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman, 2006: 118–119; Labarque & Ramírez, 2007b; Labarque & Ramírez, 2012).
