type Maniho gracilis Marples, 1959: gender feminine

N.B.: Transfer of Akatorea otagoensis to Amaurobiidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here, furthermore is it not the type species of the genus. Transferred from Amphinectidae to Desidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 606 - not explicitely but together with the whole family.
