Diplura is a genus of South American curtain web spiders that was first described by C. L. Koch in 1850.[5] It is found in South America and Cuba belonging to the subfamily Diplurinae.[1] They possess a lyra on their prolateral maxillae. Diplura species can be distinguished from Trechona sp. by the number of setae on this lyra. They differ from Harmonicon sp. by the leg formula (1423 in Harmonicon, rather than 4123 in other genera of the subfamily) and the shape of the lyra bristles.[citation needed]
