diagnosis
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other eresids except Paradonea presleyi sp. n. by the median eye group, which has large, subequal eyes (AME / PME> 0.6) with clear separation on the horizontal axis and significant overlap on the vertical axis (Fig. 11 A, C, E, G, I, K); distinguished from Paradonea presleyi sp. n. by the long, acute clypeal hood (short, slightly obtuse in Paradonea presleyi sp. n., Fig. 70 I). Classically diagnosed by having the PER noticeably more narrow (65 - 90 %) than the AER (Kraus and Kraus 1988; Simon 1892); however, Adonea, and some Eresus and Paradonea species approach or even overlap with some Stegodyphus species. Further distinguished from other eresids except Dresserus, Gandanameno, and some Paradonea by the advanced position of the PLE (<0.29;> 0.31 in other eresids).
