Short description: Genus of spiders
Prolochus is a possible genus of tropical spiders. (As of September 2018), the World Spider Catalog does not accept the genus and treats it as a synonym of Dolichognatha, a genus in the family Tetragnathidae.[1] In 2014, it was suggested that the genus be restored, and a newly discovered species was named as Prolochus junlitjri. Prolochus is said to have four main traits that distinguishes it from Dolichognatha: the total absence of posterior median eyes, a dorsal abdomen without dorsal humps, a distinct shape of abdomen and the palpal organ of the male.[2][3]
Possible species
- Prolochus longiceps Thorell, 1895, syn. Dolichognatha longiceps (Thorell, 1895) – Myanmar
