Introduction

The synemosynines are strikingly ant-like salticids common in the tropics. The first legs are waved like antennae and have the embolus fixed to the tegulum (in comparison with the synagelines, which use the second legs and have a free embolus). In many cases where the embolus is long, it curls around the top of the cymbium (like the hyetussines). Tentatively included are Myrmarachne and Bocus.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
