TL;DR: The subfamily Dolichosterninae is newly synonymized with the Diplurinae, and a new genus and species are established for a Chilean diplurid with six spinnerets but apparently without close relationship to the Hexathelinae.
Abstract: The subfamily Dolichosterninae is newly synonymized with the Diplurinae. A new genus and species, Mediothele australis, are established for a Chilean diplurid with six spinnerets but apparently without close relationship to the Hexathelinae.
TL;DR: In Mediothele, the female of M. australis is described for the first time, as well as five new species of Hexathelidae Simon (1892) based solely on females from Southern and Central Chile.
Abstract: Several new species of Hexathelidae Simon (1892) from Chile are described. In Scotinoecus Simon (1892), a new species(S. ruiles) is described using females; a new species (S. major) is proposed for the male previously misidentified as S. cinereopilosus (Simon, 1889), and females are described; the male of S. cinereopilosus is described for the first time. In Mediothele, the female of M. australis is described for the first time, as well as five new species (M. minima, M. linares, M. nahuelbuta, M. anae and M. lagos); all are based solely on females from Southern and Central Chile. The known geographic distributions of both genera are increased.
TL;DR: The subfamily Dolichosterninae was newly synonymized with the Diplurinae as mentioned in this paper, and a new genus and species, Mediothele australis, were established for a Chilean diplurid with six spinnerets but apparently without close relationship to the Hexathelinae.
