Gen. Padillothorax Simon, 1901

Figures 28 F-L

Type species - Padillothorax semiostrinus Simon, 1901 .

Diagnosis. See description of the type species and Fig. 28 F-L.

Composition. Padillothorax semiostrinus Simon, 1901 and P. taprobanicus Simon, 1902 d .

Remarks. There are nothing new to add to the descriptions of both species - P. semiostrinus and P. taprobanicus (see facsimiles - Figs 31 and 31 ). Revival of the genus is forced to preserve information on its unique properties in view of forty years lull in research, interference of the WSC Editors into interpretation of results of research is unwarranted.
