Auximella is a genus of South American tangled nest spiders first described by Embrik Strand in 1908. [3]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains six species: [1]
Philodromidae, also known as philodromid crab spiders and running crab spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell in 1870. It contains over 500 species in thirty genera.
Avicularia is a genus of the family Theraphosidae containing various species of arboreal tarantulas. The genus is native to Panama, the Caribbean and tropical South America. Each species in the genus has very distinguishable pink foot pads.
Aysha is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1891. They are often called "sac spiders" because of the dwellings that they create for themselves to take shelter in. As is true with most other spiders, the pedipalps of the males are much larger than those of the females. They are found throughout South America up to Panama.
Amaurobiidae is a family of three-clawed cribellate or ecribellate spiders found in crevices and hollows or under stones where they build retreats, and are often collected in pitfall traps. Unlidded burrows are sometimes quite obvious in crusty, loamy soil. They are difficult to distinguish from related spiders in other families, especially Agelenidae, Desidae and Amphinectidae. Their intra- and interfamilial relationships are contentious. According to the World Spider Catalog, 2023, the family Amaurobiidae includes 286 species in 50 genera.
Zoropsidae, also known as false wolf spiders for their physical similarity to wolf spiders, is a family of cribellate araneomorph spiders first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1882. They can be distinguished from wolf spiders by their two rows of eyes that are more equal in size than those of Lycosidae.
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.
Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
Acanthoscurria is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. They are found throughout South America including the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela, plus into the Windward Islands West Indies,.
Sidymella is a genus of spider in the family Thomisidae, found in South America, Australia and New Zealand. It was originally named Sidyma, but this was later found to have been used already for a genus of moths.
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.
Gephyroctenus is a genus of South American wandering spiders first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1936.
Acentroscelus is a genus of South American crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1886. It is a senior synonym of Whittickius.
Epicadinus is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
Azilia is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1881. It is a senior synonym of Cardimia.
Meriola is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae, first described by Nathan Banks in 1895.
Xenoctenidae is a family of araneomorph spiders separated from Miturgidae in 2017.
Strophius is a genus of crab spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1880.
Guasuctenus is a small genus of South American wandering spiders first described by D. Polotow and Antônio Domingos Brescovit in 2019. As of November 2021 it contains only two species: G. longipes and G. vittatissimus. The type species was originally described under the name "Ctenus griseus.
