Genus Friularachne nov.
Type species: Friularachne rigoi sp. nov., monotypic; see below. Etymology : After the Friuli region of Italy (Friûl in the Friulian language) where the fossil was found, and Greek, arachne, a spider .
Diagnosis.—Atypoid−like spider with a carapace broadening anteriorly; single dorsal scutum extending more than half the length of the opisthosoma (at least in the adult male); large, porrect chelicerae with denticles on both pro− and retromargins; legs relatively long and thin.
Remarks.—This diagnosis is necessarily descriptive, rather than comparative, because of the uncertainty surrounding the true identity of the spider.
