Gen. Prostheclina Keyserling, 1882

type: pallida

NB. Quoted as synonym of Saitis Simon, 1876 by Bonnet 1955-1959, revived by Davies, Zabka 1989: 238, 242 as independent genus, the question of remaining Australian species removed previously from Prostheclina remains open until revision of each, presumably they should be returned to the previous combination as well, these are: Saitis insectus and S. signatus. J. Proszynski.
