Genus 3492 (near Dipoena)
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 3492
This likely undescribed genus resembles Phycosoma and Dipoena. The genus was first documented when Hickman (1951) described Dipoena setosus (Hickman, 1951), then placed in Trigonobothrys. They are small spiders with a heart-shaped abdomen and an elevated eye-region in males. Genital morphology is different to both Phycosoma and Dipoena.
