(1934) characterized the genus as follows:
"Ammotrechinae,

In the same publication, Roewer (1934)
diagnosed the genus Ammotrechona, later regarded as a synonym of

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
