Goblin Spiders
Xestaspis Simon, 1884
Type species: Oonops loricatus L. Koch 1873
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 110
(after Harvey & Ott 2008): Species of Xestaspis most closely resemble those of Gamasomorpha, from which they differ by the modified anterodorsal edge of the booklung covers, which bears a remarkable pointed tubercle. In addition, the body is heavily sclerotized, the carapace moderately high, with six welldeveloped eyes, the endites lack any conspicuous modifications, with a complete set of abdominal scuta, and legs without obvious spines.
