Camillina
Camillina is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Lucien Berland in 1919. They are very similar to sister genus Zelotes.
They are common ground dwellers often sampled in pitfall traps.
Description
Species of genus Camillina can be distinguished from all other gnaphosids by the combined presence of a preening comb on metatarsi III and IV, large and almost touching posterior median eyes, and specific genital features. The male pedipalp has a prolaterally situated, bifid terminal apophysis and medially situated, recessed embolar base, while females have a median epigynal plate.
The body coloration is typically light brown, with the opisthosoma often testaceous. The carapace is longer than wide. The anterior row of eyes, when viewed from the front, is procurved with the lateral eyes larger than the median ones. The posterior row of eyes, when viewed from above, is distinctly procurved with the median eyes larger than the laterals, angular, and contiguous posteriorly.
The sternum is narrower and more oval, measuring 1.25-1.5 times as long as broad and about 1.5 times as broad at the point of greatest width as anteriorly. The abdomen is long and oval. The legs bear preening combs on metatarsi III and IV, consisting of apical combs of long bristles usually on the undersurface.
