MECYNOMETA. 
Mecynometa, E. Simon, Hist. Nat. Araign. 2nd edit. i. p. 737 (1895). 
Type WM. globosa (O. P.-Cambr.). Central America. 
The type of this genus is perhaps more like Leucauge than Meta; but may be 
distinguished from the former by the much greater width between the posterior coxe, 
and from the latter by the possession, in common with Leucauge, of a double row of 
cilie on the basal half of femur iv. The colulus is also present.
