Abstract

"Spiders of the genus Cyrioctea are easily recognized by the transverse series of spines found between the anterior and posterior eye rows, but do not seem to be closely related to Leprolochus, another Neotropical genus with similar (but differently placed) cephalic spines. Five species are recognized, all from Chile and Argentina. The male of the type species, C. spinifera (Nicolet), is described for the first time, and three new species (C. cruz, C. mauryi, and C. calderoni) are described from northern Chile"--P. [1].
