Laetesia
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 601
(after Hormiga and Scharff 2014): There are two potential synapomorphies of Laetesia: the distally forked distal suprategular apophysis and the long, straight and narrow embolic membrane, both traits being shared by all the Laetesia species. Other distinctive characters of Laetesia may be symplesiomorphic, e.g., the presence of two latero-ventral scapes or processes in Laetesia species is also shared by several Dunedinia species, a genus that is currently not known from Australia.
