Leclercera
Leclercera is a genus of spiders in the family Psilodercidae found in Asia, including Thailand, Nepal, China and the Philippines. It was first described in 1995 by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold, who named it after a fellow collector of Asian spiders. She originally placed under Ochyroceratidae, but it was later moved it to Psilodercidae. It is named for Philippe Leclerc, a collector of spiders in southeast Asia.
Members of this genus are usually larger than those in Psiloderces and Merizocera, but can also be distinguished by teeth on the retromargin of the chelicerae (behind the fang), a round maxillae, and a longer labium. They can be distinguished from Althepus by the rounded posterior margin of the carapace and a shallow fovea that doesn't quite reach the posterior thoracic margin, among other factors.
