Teylini is a tribe of mygalomorph spiders consisting of the four genera Teyl, Namea, Teyloides and Pseudoteyl.
It is distinguished from the tribe Anamini only by technical differences, like a narrow band of cuspules on the maxillae and the absence of a spine-bearing spur on the first tibia of males (except in Teyloides).[1]
[edit] Distribution
Representatives of the tribe occur in southwestern Western Australia, southern South Australia, western Victoria and the border country of southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales.[1]
