Dipoena
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 3052
(after Vanuytven 2021): Abdomen variable in shape, sometimes wider than long, heart-shaped or higher than long. The taxonomic limits of Dipoena and the revalidated or recently described new genera (Dipoenata, Lasaeola, Yaginumena) are not very clear. None of them have clear diagnostic characters.
The Fauna Portal includes those species in Dipoena in which males have a highly elevated carapace. The pedipalp is compact and ovoid in ventral view.
