"On the basis of the sclerotized anterior spinnerets, obliquely depressed endites, and flattened oval posterior median eyes, the spider family Gallieniellidae Millot is transferred from the Clubionoidea to the Gnaphosoidea. The presence of a small but distinct apical segment on the anterior spinnerets suggests that gallieniellids are relatively plesiomorphic gnaphosoids. Two genera are recognized. Gallieniella includes the type species G. mygaloides Millot and the new species G. blanci and G. betroka, all from Madagascar, and the new species G. jocquei from the Comoro Islands. The new genus Legendrena includes four new species (L. angavokely, L. perinet, L. tamatave, and L. rolandi) from Madagascar"--P. [1].
