Arachosia is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1882. [3]
As of September 2019 [update] it contains twenty-one species, found in the Americas, including the Greater Antilles: [1]
Anyphaenidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, sometimes called anyphaenid sac spiders or ghost spiders. They are distinguished from the sac spiders of the family Clubionidae and other spiders by having the abdominal spiracle placed one third to one half of the way anterior to the spinnerets toward the epigastric furrow on the underside of the abdomen. In most spiders the spiracle is just anterior to the spinnerets.
Misumenops is a common genus of crab spider with more than 50 described species.
Misumenoides is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. Spiders in this family are commonly called "crab" or "flower" spiders.
Grammostola is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described in text by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892. These medium- to large-sized spiders are native to tropical South America, and are usually brown in color, with pinkish or orangish-red hairs. The very docile Chilean rose tarantula is popular as a beginner's spider among tarantula enthusiasts.
Castianeira is a genus of ant-like corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1879. They are found in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, but are absent from Australia. Twenty-six species are native to North America, and at least twice as many are native to Mexico and Central America.
Micrathena, known as spiny orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Micrathena contains more than a hundred species, most of them Neotropical woodland-dwelling species. The name is derived from the Greek "micro", meaning "small", and the goddess Athena.
Corinna is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1841. They are found in Mexico and south to Brazil, and with selected species found in Africa.
Teudis is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders first described by O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1896.
Xiruana is a genus of South American anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Antônio Brescovit in 1997.
Trachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders which has variously been placed in families Trachelidae or Corinnidae. Current taxonomy places it in Trachelidae.
Eustala is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Mesabolivar is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by M. A. González-Sponga in 1998.
Metagonia is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1893.
Xenoctenidae is a family of araneomorph spiders separated from Miturgidae in 2017.
Josa is a genus of South American anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1891. It is a senior synonym of "Gayenella", "Haptisus", "Olbophthalmus", and "Pelayo".
