Emended diagnosis. Males of Stenoterommata differ from those of Bayana, Neostothis Vellard, 1925, Psalistopoides, Pselligmus Simon, 1892b, Prorachias Mello-Leitão, 1924, Pycnothele and Rachias by the rigid and smooth (and usually longitudinal) parallel keels of the embolus (Figs 19, 21, 22, 56–58; Indicatti et al., 2008a, fig. 27), and tibia I with a sessile apical retrolateral megaspine (Figs 32, 61; Goloboff, 1995, figs 72K, 73F; Indicatti et al., 2008a, fig. 28). Females differ from those of Prorachias, Pselligmus, Pycnothele by the absence of scopulae on tibia I, II; from Rachias by the labium wider than long, maxillary posterior heel not produced (Goloboff, 1995, figs 71A, 72B), and without long, curved setae covering the cuspules. In addition, it also differs by the triangular apical segment of the PLS, and by having a row of enlarged pumpkiniform spigots along the inner edge of the PLS spinning field (Figs 38, 40), in conjunction with well-developed preening combs (Goloboff, 1995, fig. 8) on the female metatarsi II, and numerous maxillary cuspules (Fig. 29; Goloboff, 1995, figs 71A, 72B, E), usually over 40, up to 160 (Goloboff, 1995).
