Genitalia (Figs 5 F – H, 6 A – C): epigyne with a deep posteromedian excavation (Figs 5 F – G, 6 A), with longitudinally oriented, arc-like epigynal pockets with sclerotised prolateral rims (Figs 5 F – G, 6 A; EP).

Copulatory ducts unspiralled, with broad, flat proximal and transversely oriented, long, narrow, tubular distal parts (Figs 5 H, 6 C; CD). Spermathecae globular, proximal part with 3 – 4 turns (Figs 5 H, 6 C; S). Copulatory ducts, spermathecae and fertilization ducts entirely covered by hyaline uterus externus with broad, median, cup-shaped invagination (Figs 5 H, 6 B; UE, arrow). Fertilization ducts flat, diverging (Fig. 6 C; FD). Male. For redescription and illustrations of the male, see Sankaran et al. (2020). Note. There seems discrepancy in the terminologies used by various authors to denote different structures of the female genitalia of Makdiops and Siamspinops and possibly of other selenopid genera. For example, Dankittipakul & Corronca (2009) used the term ‘ secondary epigynal pocket’ to denote the posteromedially located, paired epigynal invaginations found in Makdiops and Siamspinops (Dankittipakul & Corronca 2009: fig. 27). The usage of ‘ secondary epigynal pocket’ is confusing as these authors did not indicate the occurrence of ‘ primary epigynal pocket’ in the female genitalia. Crews & Harvey (2011: fig. 81) and Yu et al. (2019: fig. 4) used the term ‘ epigynal pocket’ to represent these invaginations. Dankittipakul & Corronca (2009) used the term ‘ uterus externus’ to denote the hyaline membranous covering, but Crews & Harvey (2011: fig. 82) and Yu et al. (2019: fig. 5) used ‘ posterodorsal fold’ or ‘ posterodorsal epigynal fold’ to denote it. In fact, the sclerotised ‘ posterodorsal fold’ can only be seen in the caudal view of the epigyne, whereas the hyaline ‘ uterus externus’ can be visible ventrally and is always connected with the fertilization ducts. Some of the structures of the female genitalia of Siamspinops are found incorrectly named in previous works. For example, Dankittipakul & Corronca (2009: fig. 30) considered the entire spiralled structure of the genitalia as the spermathecae. However, Yu et al. (2019: fig. 5) considered it as the copulatory ducts. The latter authors considered the anterior most turn of the copulatory ducts as the spermathecae, which was considered as the spermathecal head by the former authors. The spermathecae in Siamspinops could be the turn of the copulatory ducts that may be anterior or posterior, to which the fertilization ducts always found attached as shown in Fig. 4 E. In fact, Dankittipakul & Corronca (2009: fig. 30) misidentified the spermathecae as the spermathecal head. The structure labelled as the accessory lobe of the spermathecae in Dankittipakul & Corronca (2009: fig. 35) corresponds to the accessory bulb of the spermathecae as shown in Figs 4 D – E.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Kadam, Gautam, Sudhikumar, Ambalaparambil Vasu, Tripathi, Rishikesh (2022): First record of Siamspinops Dankittipakul & Corronca, 2009 from India, first description of the female of Makdiops shevaroyensis (Gravely, 1931), and a catalogue of Indian selenopid fauna (Araneae, Selenopidae).
