Ceraarachne is a genus of South American crab spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1880. [3]
As of June 2020 [update] it contains four species, found in Colombia and Brazil: [1]
The Thomisidae are a family of spiders, including about 175 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.
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 600 species in thirty genera. Most are dull colored- brown, gray, yellowish or mottled with a leaf-like cardiac mark on the anterior dorsal abdomen, and seldom reach above 10 millimetres (0.39 in) long. None of the species build webs, but they do use silk for draglines and egg sacs.
Misumena is a genus of crab spiders sometimes referred to as flower crab spiders. They are similar in appearance to several other genera in the family Thomisidae, such as Misumenoides and Mecaphesa.
Misumenoides is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. Spiders in this family are commonly called "crab" or "flower" spiders.
Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão was a Brazilian zoologist who is considered the founder of Arachnology in South America, publishing 198 papers on the taxonomy of Arachnida. He was also involved with education, writing high-school textbooks, and contributed to biogeography, with essays on the distribution of Arachnida in the South American continent.
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.
Diplura is a genus of South American curtain web spiders that was first described by C. L. Koch in 1850. It is found in South America and Cuba belonging to the subfamily Diplurinae. They possess a lyra on their prolateral maxillae. Diplura species can be distinguished from Trechona sp. by the number of setae on this lyra. They differ from Harmonicon sp. by the leg formula and the shape of the lyra bristles.
Lasiodora is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1850. They are often very large; body lengths of up to 25 centimetres (9.8 in), including the legs, are not unusual.
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.
Tasata is a genus of South American anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1903.
Wulfilopsis is a genus of South American anyphaenid sac spiders first described by B. A. M. Soares & Hélio Ferraz de Almeida Camargo in 1955.
Paradiestus is a genus of South American corinnid sac spiders first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1915. It was considered a synonym of Corinna from 1925 to 2000.
Hermacha is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Entypesidae. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Entypesidae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of Damarchodes and Hermachola.
Berlandiella is a genus of South American running crab spiders that was first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1929.
Fageia is a genus of Brazilian running crab spiders that was first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1929.
Metacleocnemis is a monotypic genus of Brazilian running crab spiders containing the single species, Metacleocnemis borgmeyeri. It was first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1929, and is only found in Brazil.
Procleocnemis is a monotypic genus of Brazilian running crab spiders containing the single species, Procleocnemis concolor. It was first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1929, and is only found in Brazil.
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.
Coenypha is a genus of South American crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
Onocolus is a genus of South American crab spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. It is considered a senior synonym of Paronocolus.
