Pirate Spiders
Ero C.L. Koch, 1836
Type species: Aranea tuberculata De Geer, 1778
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 1329
(after Benavides & Hormiga 2020): Two unambiguous morphological synapomorphies support the monophyly of Ero as circumscribed here: paracymbium with basal apophyses and paracymbium with protuberances. Additional synapomorphies (of ambiguous optimisation) include the cephalothorax colour pattern, with darker carapace margins; the sperm duct path with switchbacks and the anterior orientation of the genital openings.
