Genus Borboropactus Simon, 1884 View in CoL View at ENA

Comments.

This genus includes 17 species, all of which are distributed in tropical Africa and Asia ( WSC 2022). Most species (10 species) are described based either on single females or single males ( Li and Lin 2016) and taxonomic species identification is therefore challenging. In China, two species are known only from a single sex, B. biprocessus Tang, Yin & Peng, 2012 (male) and B. longidens Tang & Li, 2010 (female) ( Tang and Li 2010; Yin et al. 2012).
