Genus Ammotrechella Roewer 1934

Ammotrechella Roewer, 1934: 594; Muma, 1951: 125; Muma, 1970a: 45; Muma and Nazario, 1971: 506; Muma, 1976: 25; Maury, 1982a: 130; Muma, 1987: 17; Armas, 2004b: 32; Armas and Teruel, 2005: 152.
Ammotrechona
Roewer, 1934: 595; Muma, 1970a: 48; Muma, 1976: 26 (synonymized by Armas, 2004b: 60).

Diagnosis:  Roewer (1934) characterized the genus as follows:

"Ammotrechinae, deren 2. und 3. Tarsus ventral mit jeweils 1.2.2.1 Dornen und deren 4. Tarsus ventral mit 2.2/2/2 Dornen bewehrt ist (Abb. 335, b, g); Cheliceren am unbeweglichen Finger mit 2 Vorderzähnen vor dem Zwischenzahn und am unbeweglichen Finger mit 1 medialen Wangenzahn neben dem Hauptzahn (Abb. 337, b usw.)."

[Ammotrechinae whose 2nd and 3 Tarsus each bear 1.2.2.1 ventral spines and whose 4th tarsus bears 2.2/2/2 ventral spines (Fig. 335, b, g).  Immovable finger of chelicerae with 2 anterior teeth in front of the median tooth and movable finger with 1 medial cheek tooth next to the main tooth (Fig. 337, b etc).]

In the same publication, Roewer (1934) diagnosed the genus Ammotrechona, later regarded as a synonym of Ammotrechella by Armas (2004), as follows:

"Ammotrechinae, deren 2. und 3. Tarsus ventral mit jeweils 1.2.2.2 Dornen und deren 4. Tarsus ventral mit 2.2/2/2 Dornen bewehrt ist (Abb. 335, c, g); Cheliceren am unbeweglichen Finger mit 2 Vorderzähnen vor dem Zwischenzahn und am beweglichen Finger mit 1 medialen Wangenzahn neben dem Hauptzahn (Abb. 337, c)."

[Ammotrechinae whose 2nd and 3 Tarsus each bear 1.2.2.2 ventral spines and whose 4th tarsus bears 2.2/2/2 ventral spines (Fig. 335, c, g).   Immovable finger of chelicerae with 2 anterior teeth in front of the median tooth and movable finger with 1 medial cheek tooth next to the main tooth (Fig. 337, c ).]

Type species: Of Ammotrechella: Gluvia geniculata C.L. Koch 1842, by original designation. Of Ammotrechona: Galeodes cubae Lucas 1835c, by original designation.
