Subfamily Goniochernetinae Beier, 1932
Compiler and date details
Mark S. Harvey, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Introduction
The Goniochernetinae are the smallest of the chernetid subfamilies with only 10 species in three genera (Harvey 1991). Goniochernes is found in western and central Africa, while Conicochernes and Calymmachernes are endemic to Australia.
Diagnosis
The Goniochernetinae are easily distinguished from other chernetids by the angulate posterior margin of the carapace. In this respect they resemble the Sternophoridae but, unlike all chernetids, sternophorids have an inter-coxal pseudosternum and a venom apparatus in both chelal fingers.
