Flexicrurum

provided by wikipedia EN

Flexicrurum is a genus of spiders from China similar to the genera Althepus and Leclercera. Tong and Li originally placed the genus in Ochyroceratidae,[1] but Tong later moved it to Psilodercidae.[2] Males are generally smaller than 2 mm, but the size of females is unknown. The name is derived from Latin flex "curved", and crur "leg", referring to the inner turned palpal tibia of the male.[1] As of 2019 three described species have been found in caves of Hainan Island.[3]
