Bavia is a genus of jumping spiders.
Bavia species are around 6 to 11 millimetres (0.24 to 0.43 in) long in both sexes. Species of this genus are slender with long legs. [2]
Bavia is often found on the leaves of shrubs or lower tree branches. [2]
Bavia is distributed throughout the Australasian region, with one isolated species found in Madagascar.
As of January 2021 [update] , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species: [1]
Bavia ludicra(Keyserling, 1882) was transferred to genus Sandalodes and synonymized with Sandalodes superbus in 2000. [3]
The name " Bavia kairali " has been used for a species found in India, but the name was not recognized by the World Spider Catalog as of January 2021 [update] . [1]
Corinnidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, sometimes called corinnid sac spiders. The family, like other "clubionoid" families, has a confusing taxonomic history. Once it was a part of the large catch-all taxon Clubionidae, now very much smaller. The original members of the family are apparently similar only in that they have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touch and are generally wandering predators that build silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks.
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called antmimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ, meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη, meaning "spider".
Bathippus is a genus of jumping spiders.
Bianor is a genus of boreal jumping spiders that can grow to 3 and 4 mm. The robust shiny body and northerly distribution are distinctive. Males can be easily recognized by his swollen forelegs and females have orange legs. It was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1886, who names it after the mythical son of Hercules.
Cosmophasis is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. Some species occur in Africa, while most are found in Southeast Asia, down to Australia. Although most species more or less mimic ants, there are also colorful species that follow a different strategy.
Emathis is a genus of the spider family Salticidae with ten described species. Half of the species occurs from Sumatra to the Philippines, the other five occur in the West Indies. It is not certain that these two groups should reside within the same genus. This genus is very similar to the closely related Lepidemathis, which are larger.
Hyllus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae.
Rhene is a spider genus of the family Salticidae.
Sandalodes is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1883. S. scopifer, a black spider with white markings, is a common species in eucalypt forests on the Darling Downs.
Telamonia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887. They are colorful spiders, with patterns that vary considerably between sexes and species. Two longitudinal stripes along the abdomen are common, and the carapace is often colored. They have a slender opisthosoma and long legs.
Thiania is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846.
Viciria is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877. The genus includes thirty-one accepted species.
Diaea is a genus of crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869. Most species are found in specific locations except for D. livens, which occurs in the United States and D. dorsata, which has a palearctic distribution. Adults are 5 millimetres (0.20 in) to 7 millimetres (0.28 in) and tend to hide in and around vegetation, especially flowers, where their color allows them to blend in to their surroundings.
Tetragnatha is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers found all over the world. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, and it contains hundreds of species. Most occur in the tropics and subtropics, and many can run over water. They are commonly called stretch spiders in reference to their elongated body form and their ability to hide on blades of grass or similar elongated substrates by stretching their front legs forward and the others behind them. The name Tetragnatha is derived from Greek, tetra- a numerical prefix referring to four and gnatha meaning "jaw". Evolution to cursorial behavior occurred long ago in a few different species, the most studied being those found on the Hawaiian islands. One of the biggest and most common species is T. extensa, which has a holarctic distribution. It can be found near lakes, river banks or swamps. Large numbers of individuals can often be found in reeds, tall grass, and around minor trees and shrubs.
Euophryini is a tribe of jumping spiders. It has also been treated as the subfamily Euophryinae.
Thomisus is a genus of crab spiders with around 150 species described. The genus includes species that vary widely in their ecology, with some that ambush predators that feed on insects visiting flowers. Like several other genera in the family Thomisidae, they are sometimes referred to as flower crab spiders, from their crab-like motion and their way of holding their front legs, reminiscent of a crab spreading its claws as a threat.
Olios is the largest genus of huntsman spiders, containing 177 species. They are found throughout the world, with most species occurring in hot countries. The genus was first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837.
Phoroncidia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by J. O. Westwood in 1835.
Corinnomma is a genus of African and Asian corinnid sac spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1880.
