Bucranium is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. [1]
As of December 2021 [update] , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following four extant species: [1]
The Thomisidae are a family of spiders, including about 170 genera and over 2,100 species. The common name crab spider is often linked to species in this family, but is also applied loosely to many other families of spiders. Many members of this family are also known as flower spiders or flower crab spiders.
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.
Theridiosomatidae, commonly known as Ray Spiders, are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1881. The family includes 137 species divided between 20 genera. They are most recognizable for their construction of cone-shaped webs.
Bucranium taurifrons is a species of ant-mimicking crab spiders from South America. It is found in Venezuela, Guyana, Peru, Brazil and Paraguay.
Eriauchenus is a genus of East African assassin spiders first described by O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1881. The genus name has been incorrectly spelt "Eriauchenius".
Ariamnes is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869. Some species have greatly elongated abdomens, making them resemble a twig.
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.
Eriauchenus workmani is a species in the family Archaeidae. It is the type species of the genus Eriauchenus. It was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge. It is endemic to Madagascar. The genus name has also been incorrectly spelt "Eriauchenius".
Eriauchenus andrianampoinimerina is a species of spider in the family Archaeidae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Eriauchenus harveyi is a species of spider in the family Archaeidae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
