Dicymbium is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868. [2]

Contents

The etymology of the genus is based on the appearance of the male palp. The palpal tibia bears an elongated, broad, cup-shaped projection that surrounds the cymbium proper dorsally. Hence, Menge chose to name the genus Dicymbium, literally meaning two cymbia/a double cymbium. [3]

Species

As of May 2019 it contains eight species and one subspecies: [1]
