Epigynum. 
Description. Sclerotized areas brown ; abdomen gray with four 
white spots on anterior end of dorsum. Carapace, legs sclerotized. 
Carapace rather high. Eyes subequal in size. Anterior medians two- 
thirds diameter apart, touching laterals. Posterior median eyes one- 
third diameter apart, one-quarter from laterals. Chelicerae weak, 
pointed on both ends, without teeth. Fang large, curved, almost one- 
half total height of chelicerae. Abdomen with bases of setae sclerotized 
and some scattered small sclerotic spots. A sclerotic ring around 
pedicel and around spinnerets. Colulus with two setae. Total length 
2.0 mm. Carapace 0.71 mm long. First patella and tibia 0.93 mm. 
The male being unknown, placement of this species is uncertain. 
Since the female has only two seminal receptacles (Fig. 15) it cannot 
be a Dipoena and is probably not Euryopis. It differs from other 
Pholcomma by lacking teeth on the chelicerae. It is possible that the 
specimen lacks lungs and belongs to the family Symphytognathidae.
