sicut Scytodes ab affinibus suis, statim distinguitur. Genus a Scytode 
omniné distinctum. In Scytode vera (Scyt. thoracicd, Latr., et Scyt. velu-

tuberculo impositis: mandibularum unguis minutissimus: tardigrada, 
telam praedz jacit : quieta, pedibus elevatis insistit: pedes quarti, primi 
deinde, tum secundi longiores.
