Comments.
Brigittea is a small genus of five valid species distributed in the Western Palaearctic (with B. civica (Lucas, 1848) introduced to South Africa), most of which were previously classified under Dictyna Sundevall, 1833 ( WSC 2024). Males of this genus are characterized by a highly elevated cephalic region and chelicerae with lateral condyles and deeply concaved mesal margins. Females differ from those of related genera by spaced receptacles (vs. contiguous). Two species have been recorded in the Caucasus and Georgia.
