. Bonner zoologische Monographien. Zoology. HUBER. REVISION AND CI ADISTIC: ANALYSIS C^l^ PI/OLCL/S AND CLOSELY RELATED l AXA (ARANEAL,, l'HOLCIDAE) apophysis provided with short but thick modified hair at tip (figs. 3e, f in Huber & Benjamin 2005), femur very large, with small proximal process dor- sally, tarsus without dorsal elongation, tarsal organ capsulate (fig. 4c in Huber & Benjamin 2005), pro- cursus small and simple, without ventral 'knee', without dorsal spines, bulb with single apophysis (considered a homologue of the Pholcus appendix judging fi-om its position), small weakly sclerotized embolus. Legs long, tibia 1 in males -11-16, tibia 1 L/d -60, legs without spines and curved hairs, few vertical hairs, tibiae with three trichobothria each except tibia 1 (prolateral trichobothrium absent), retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at 4-5%, tarsus 4 with single row of comb-hairs (Fig. 145). Abdomen cylindrical, male gonopore with epiandrous spigots (number unclear, fig. 4a in Huber & Benjamin 2005), ALS with one widened, one pointed, and six cylindrically-shaped spigots, PMS with two small spigots (figs. 4e, f in Huber & Benjamin 2005). Sexual dimorphism slight, female eye triads closer together, chelicerae unmodified. Body size as in males, legs slightly shorter (tibia 1: -9-13). Epigy- num weakly sclerotized, with 'knob', internal genita- lia with pair of oval pore-plates. Monophyly. The only synapomorphy suggested by the cladistic analyses is the small and simplified procursus (char. 42; Fig. 104). Further potential synapomor- phies are the complex and large bulbal apophysis, the large palpal femur (in relation to the tibia), and the massive male palpal trochanter apophysis with mod- ified hair on tip. Generic relationships. While the inclusion of Sihala in the Phoicus-group of genera appears well supported (char. 12: Pholcus-vype of tarsal comb-hairs; char. 64: epigynal 'knob'), its detailed relationships with other genera remain obscur
