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