Family FEAELLIDAE Ellingsen, 1906
Compiler and date details
Mark S. Harvey, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Introduction
The Feaellidae are represented by 11 species recorded from various disjunct tropical areas such as Africa, Madagascar, Seychelles, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and north-western Australia. Only a single genus, Feaella, is currently recognised and several subgenera are in use (Harvey 1991).
Diagnosis
Feaellids can be distinguished from pseudogarypids by the raptorial pedipalps, the lack of a median maxillary lyrifissure, the cheliceral flagellum reduced to a single blade, and the carapace and tergite I with an unusual articulation joint.
