Genus Anatextrix Kaya, Zamani, Yagmur & Marusik, 2023

Type species.

Anatextrix spectabilis Kaya, Zamani, Yağmur & Marusik, 2023 from southern Anatolia, by monotypy.

Emended diagnosis.

The genus differs from all other genera of Textricini by having a strongly modified male palpal femur bent at the proximal or middle part with two digitiform outgrowths (So and Sp) and at least one proximal bulge (vs. not bent, with none or subdistal bulge), presence of the palpal prolateral tibial apophysis (Pt) and the cymbial baso-prolateral fold (Cf) (vs. lacking), straight mesal part of the embolic base (Eb) (vs. round) and a thin septum in the epigyne (vs. absent). Furthermore, the females of Anatextrix differ from those of Textrix Sundevall, 1833 by having no epigynal fovea and scape (vs. present). From the females of the two other genera of Textricini - Maimuna Lehtinen, 1967 and Lycosoides Lucas, 1846 - the females of Anatextrix differ by the anterior position of the receptacles (vs. mesal or posterior).
