Figure 62 in Morphological phylogeny of cobweb spiders and their relatives (Araneae, Araneoidea, Theridiidae)

Figure 62. Phoroncidia sp., male. A–D, palp. A, mesial; note spines on tegulum, such spines are also present in Sternodes foraminatus Butler (see Moran, 1986), originally in Palpimanidae, later made the type of Sternodidae (Moran, 1986) and then transferred to Malkaridae by Platnick & Forster (1987). Sternodes shares several additional features with Phoroncidia. B, ventral. C, dorsal. D, close-up of tegular spines (TS). E, prosoma, head shape is typical for males of this genus (103-2). F, stridulatory area of abdomen, highly reduced. G, posterior end of prosoma, no stridulatory ridges visible (150-0). H, epiandrous gland spigots. Scale bars: A–C, E–G, 100 Mm. D, H, 10 Mm.
