Amusia is a genus of African ground spiders that was first described by Albert Tullgren in 1910. [2] As of May 2019 [update] it contains only two species: A. cataracta and A. murina. [1]
Ground spiders comprise Gnaphosidae, the seventh largest spider family with over 2,000 described species in over 100 genera distributed worldwide. There are 105 species known to central Europe, and common genera include Gnaphosa, Drassodes, Micaria, Cesonia, Zelotes and many others. They are closely related to Clubionidae. At present, no ground spiders are known to be seriously venomous to humans.
