Oh my goodness! Unless you are a Tree of Life developer, you really shouldn't be here. This page is part of our beta test site, where we develop new features for the ToL, often messing up a thing or two in the process. Please visit the official version of this page, which is available here.

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.
