Tiger Swift Spiders

Ticopa Raven, 2015

Type species: Ticopa australis Raven, 2015

Fauna Portal Genus Number: 2675

(after Raven et al. 2015): Males differ from those of other Australian Castianeirinae in the combination of the palpal cymbium with a paracymbial spine and bulb with lobular scaly embolic base. Females are distinguished from those of other genera by the wide, black, distinctly enlarged fang setae in combination with the simple bilobed spermathecae, and from Battalus, which also may have much stronger fang setae, in the simpler less folded form of the spermathecae.
