Thysanina Simon, 1910: 201 Lyle & Haddad 2006: 97 A revision of the genus Trachelas L. Koch, 1872 (Araneae: Trachelidae) in the continental Afrotropical Region Haddad, Charles R. Lyle, Robin Zootaxa 2025 2025-08-07 5673 4 451 493  Lyle & Haddad 2006: 97  7WNR Simon, 1910 Simon 1910 [151,441,1302,1329] Arachnida Trachelidae Thysanina Animalia Araneae 32 483 Arthropoda genus      Thysanina Simon, 1910: 201;  Lyle & Haddad 2006: 97.   Remarks.  Thysaninacan be easily distinguished from  Trachelas  sensu strictoby the smooth rather than tuberculate carapace texture, the presence of ventral cusps and dense scopulae on the anterior tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi of males and females, respectively, and the consistent presence of chevron markings on the abdomen of both sexes (rare in  Trachelas  sensu stricto). However,  Thysaninais itself probably polyphyletic, and may represent three different genera based on morphological and molecular data ( Haddad et al.2021; Haddad 2025). Despite a revision ( Lyle & Haddad 2006), wherein a range of genitalic morphology between the six known species was presented, the composition of the genus needs to be revised in future, taking into consideration that more than 15 new species have been subsequently discovered and are awaiting description (C.H., unpublished data).
