Slender Wishbone Spiders

Teyl Main, 1975

Type species: Teyl luculentus Main, 1975

Fauna Portal Genus Number: 2567

(after Harvey et al. 2018): Most species of Teyl, Namea and Teyloides have the embolus arising from the lateral (usually retrolateral) side of the pedipalpal bulb, whereas in other Anamini it arises distally. The sole species of Teyl without this feature, T. damsonoides, has a sinuate metatarsus I which also has a rounded process). Teyl species differ from Teyloides by the lack of a megaspur on the tibia I of males and the lack of coiled spermathecae in females, and from most species of Namea by the absence of a stout and thick or long spine on the retroventral edge of the male pedipalpal tibia.
