Artoriinae

Male Artoria cingulipes, copyright Volker Framenau.

Belongs within: Lycosidae.

The Artoriinae are a group of wolf spiders found in Australasia and insular southeast Asia, characterised by male pedipalps bearing a distinct apophysis at the base of the embolus. Members of the subfamily vary from small to large in size, and the shape of the basoembolic apophysis may vary from thin and lamellar to strongly sclerotised (Framenau 2007).
