Genus Ectatosticta Simon, 1892

Type species.

Hypochilus davidi Simon, 1889 from China.

Diagnosis.

Ectatosticta can be easily distinguished from Hypochilus by the rectangular labium which is almost as long as wide and bears a pair of triangular posterolateral flanges, also by numerous leg spines (Forster et al. 1987) and in the lateral view of the male palp, the cymbium to bulb length ratio is almost 3:1 (Figs 2, 4) but nearly 1: 1 in Hypochilus (Forster et al. 1987: figs 38, 43, 48, 53, 58, 63, 68, 73).

Distribution.
