Fusion of the sternum with the epimeric sclerites; divided scopula on metatarsi and tarsi I and II, a rugose sternal surface, and the typical form of the retrolateral tibial apophysis and epigynum.
White-tailed Spiders
Lamponidae
(after Platnick 2000): The Lamponidae (White-tailed Spiders) differ from ammoxenine gnaphosids, cithaeronids, gallieniellids, and trochanteriids in having anterior lateral spinnerets consisting of only a single article, and from gnaphosids (incl. molycriines) in having an incomplete ring of sclerotized cuticle (rather than just a tiny crescent) that represents the remains of the base of a distal article. Most lamponids are easily recognized by the pair of large, oval, invaginated sclerites situated just behind the epigastric furrow in both sexes, but these sclerites are inconspicuous in the small species of the subfamily Pseudolamponinae.
There are three subfamilies in the Lamponidae: Pseudolamponinae (genera Pseudolampona and Paralampona), Lamponinae (Lampona, Lamponina, Lamponoides, Lamponata, Lamponova, Lamponicta, Lamponusa, Lamponega, and Lamponella) and Centrothelinae (Centrothele, Prionosternum, Asadipus, Centrina, Centrocalia, Centsymplia, Queenvic, Bigenditia, Graycassis, Notsodipus, and Longepi).

Males with enlarged terminal apophysis obscuring, in ventral view, the distal portion of the embolus; females with long epigynum, reaching almost to the pedicel, with a complex anterior hood.
Longepi
1 species
Members of Notsodipus but can be distinguished from those of Asadipus by the unexcavated retrolateral tibial apophysis of males and the deep anterior epigynal atrium and highly coiled posterior ducts of females.
