C73B87AE0D51FFFE2FAEDCA0FA1BFE5A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Members of this genus resemble those of Gamasomorpha, Brignolia and other genera of the subfamily Oonopinae in having heavily sclerotized dorsal and ventral abdominal scuta (e. g. figs 1 C, 3 C), spineless legs and relatively large eyes (e. g. Figs 1 D, 3 D). They can easily be distinguished from all other genera by the long and ribbed pedicel tube (e. g. figs 1 C, 3 C) and by the male palps with several long or plate-like, strongly sclerotized apophyses (e. g. figs 14 A – E, 46 A – G). The female epigastric region usually shows a tongue-like structure, not present in similar genera (e. g. fig. 7 F – H).	en	Kranz-Baltensperger, Yvonne (2014): The goblin spider genus Xyphinus (Araneae; Oonopidae).

C73B87AE0D6CFFC52FAEDAC0FCC2F81E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Members of this species are quite large. Males can be distinguished from congeners by the conspicuous laterally outstanding palpal cymbium and the absence of microsculpture on the palpal patella and tibia (Figs 53 B, G; 54 B – E). The female epigastric region is characterized by a large sclerotized arch (Fig. 56).	en	Kranz-Baltensperger, Yvonne (2014): The goblin spider genus Xyphinus (Araneae; Oonopidae).
