94B75BA3D112549B8B9EED77D707D665.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus is named after the late Norman I. Platnick (1951 - 2020) who made unprecedented contributions to arachnology, including creating the World Spider Catalog. The gender is masculine.	en	Marusik, Yuri M., Fomichev, Alexander A. (2020): A new genus of Liocranidae (Arachnida: Araneae) from Tajikistan. Acta Biologica Sibirica 6: 583-594, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/abs.6.e59687, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/abs.6.e59687
94B75BA3D112549B8B9EED77D707D665.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new genus is most similar to the Southeast Asian genera Oedignatha Thorell, 1881, Sesieutes Simon, 1897 and Sphingius Thorell, 1890. The male of the new genus differs from all other Oedignathinae by having a pair of longitudinal (longer than wide) ventral scuta (vs. absent). In addition, the male can be distinguished by having an antero-ventral femoral extension of the palp (vs. lacking) and a helical (screw threading) embolus embedded in a collar (Cl) (vs. filamentous embolus, lacking collar). Females of Platnick gen. n. differ from Oedignatha by lacking a dorsal scutum and having small (smaller than the epigyne) postgastral scuta (vs. scuta larger than the epigyne, transverse and almost touching each other).	en	Marusik, Yuri M., Fomichev, Alexander A.

The new species differs from those of P. astana sp. n. by the indistinct fovea and unconcealed copulatory openings (Co) (vs. fovea distinct, copulatory openings concealed by hoods), as well as by the copulatory ducts (Cd) directed posteriorly and the short glands of the receptacles (Rg) not extended anteriorly as much as the receptacles (vs. copulatory ducts directed anteriorly, and glands of receptacles located anterior to receptacles).
