Caesetius is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1893 by Simon. As of 2017 [update] , it contains 10 species from southern Africa. [1]
Caesetius comprises the following species: [1]
Huntsman spiders, members of the family Sparassidae, are known by this name because of their speed and mode of hunting. They are also called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places. In southern Africa the genus Palystes are known as rain spiders or lizard-eating spiders. Commonly, they are confused with baboon spiders from the Mygalomorphae infraorder, which are not closely related.
Oonopidae, also known as goblin spiders, is a family of spiders consisting of over 1,600 described species in about 113 genera worldwide, with total species diversity estimated at 2000 to 2500 species. The type genus of the family is OonopsKeyserling, 1835.
Ant spiders are members of the family Zodariidae. They are small to medium-sized eight-eyed spiders found in all tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia-New Guinea, New Zealand, Arabia and the Indian subcontinent. Most species are daytime hunters and live together with ants, mimicking their behavior and sometimes even their chemical traits. Although little is known about most zodariids, members of the genus Zodarion apparently feed only on ants; a number of other genera in the family are apparently also ant specialists.
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.
Palfuria is a spider genus of the family Zodariidae of which nine species from Africa have been described to date.
The Harpactirinae are a subfamily of tarantulas which are native to the continent of Africa. Like many Old World tarantulas, they have a relatively strong venom and can inflict a painful bite.
Allocosa is a spider genus of the wolf spider family, Lycosidae. The 130 or more recognized species are spread worldwide.
Smeringopus is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1890.
Hermippus is a genus of ant eating spiders in the family Zodariidae, containing twelve species restricted to Asia and parts of Africa. Three new species were discovered in 2014.
Palpimanus is a genus of palp-footed spiders that was first described by L. Dufour in 1820.
Capheris is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1893 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains 11 species, all from sub-Saharan Africa.
Chariobas is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1893 by Simon. As of 2022, it contains five African species.
Cicynethus is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1910 by Simon. As of 2022, it contains 7 species.
Cydrela is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1873 by Thorell. As of 2022, it contains 17 species from a variety of places in Asia and Africa.
Heradida is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1893 by Simon. As of 2021, it contains 8 African species.
Leprolochus is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1893 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains 7 South American species.
Mallinus is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1893 by Simon. As of 2021, it contains only 1 African species.
Systenoplacis is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1907 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains 22 African species.
Diores is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae.
