It has been compared to Stygnus and Sickesia by the ornamentation of the prosoma and area III, and has been also related with Pickeliana, Phareus, Sickesia, Stygnus and Ricstygnus based on the pedipalpal patella moderately long, male patella IV with one large ventroapical anterior tubercle, and distal setae of ventral plate penis wide and compressed (Pinto-da-Rocha & Tourinho 2012).	en	Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B., Colmenares, Pío A.

03EC879FFFEAFFE3FF778687FD20B164.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. It can be easily distinguished from the only other known species of the genus due to the shape and ornamentation of the legs IV of the males (Figs 2 E – F, H): femur curved, with rows of large retrolateral and ventral tubercles vs. femur straight, and barely ornamented with small granules (J. chifrudo); patella slightly wider than tibia vs. patella more than twice the width of tibia (J. chifrudo); and the cephalothorax ornamentation (Figs 1 A – B, D, F – G; 2 A – B): with a low mound finishing in a short spine, less than or equal to the spines in area III vs. a high mound finishing in a long spine, larger than the spines in area III (J. chifrudo). Penis (Figs 3 A – F) with three pairs of MS-A distributed along the malleus vs. only two pairs of MS-A located close to each other in the medial part of the malleus (J. chifrudo); MS-C short and conical vs long and digitiform (J. chifrudo).	en	Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B., Colmenares, Pío A.

(1) The lamina parva is not reduced and the “ neck ” is of normal length (not conspicuously short) and not especially narrow (Figs 3 J, L), (2) MS-C are normally sized (Figs 3 J – L), (reduced in Stygnoplus) (Figs 3 G – I) (3) MS-A 4 - 5 instead 3 pairs (Fig. 3 K); (4) MS-E normally present, with at least MS-E 2 large (Figs 3 J – L) (in Stygnoplus, both MS-E 1 – E 2 are extremely reduced or even apparently absent (Figs 3 G – I). Unlike the type species of the genus, the species here addressed all have a high spine in the carapace in the interocular region.	en	Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B., Colmenares, Pío A.
