Genus of spiders
Hentziectypus is a
genus of
comb-footed spiders that was first described by
Allan Frost Archer in 1946.
[2] Originally placed with
Theridion , it was moved to
Achaearanea in 1955,
[3] and to its own genus in 2008.
[4] These spiders most resemble members of
Cryptachaea , but are distinguished by a
median apophysis that is broadly attached to the
tegulum . Spiders of
Parasteatoda have a median apophysis attached to the
embolus , while those of
Achaearanea have a hooked
paracymbium on the
pedipalps of males.
