Dingosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1955 by Roewer. As of 2017 [update] , it contains 6 species from Australia and from South America. [1]
Dingosa comprises the following species: [1]
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, from the Ancient Greek word "λύκος" meaning "wolf". They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude and hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.
The Artoriinae are a subfamily of wolf spiders. The monophyly of the subfamily has been confirmed in a molecular phylogenetic study, although the relationships among the subfamilies was shown to be less certain.
Algidus is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1898 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Algidus marmoratus, found in Venezuela.
Brevilabus is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1908 by Strand. As of 2017, it contains 2 species.
Caporiaccosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1960 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Caporiaccosa arctosaeformis, found in Ethiopia.
Caspicosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2007 by Ponomarev. As of 2017, it contains 2 species.
Costacosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2013 by Framenau & Leung. As of 2017, it contains 2 species, both from western Australia.
Cynosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1933 by Caporiacco. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Cynosa agedabiae, found in North Africa.
Dorjulopirata is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1997 by Buchar. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Dorjulopirata dorjulanus, found in Bhutan.
Gnatholycosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1940 by Mello-Leitão. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Gnatholycosa spinipalpis, found in Argentina.
Hippasella is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1944 by Mello-Leitão. As of 2017, it contains 3 South American species.
Katableps is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2011 by Jocqué, Russell-Smith & Alderweireldt. As of 2017, it contains 3 species from Madagascar.
Lycosella is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1890 by Thorell. As of 2017, it contains 5 species found in Hawaii and Sumatra.
Pardosella is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1939 by Caporiacco. As of 2017, it contains 5 species from Ethiopia and Tanzania.
Pavocosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1960 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 5 species.
Shapna is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1983 by Hippa & Lehtinen. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Shapna pluvialis, found in India.
Syroloma is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1900 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains two species from Hawaii.
Tetralycosa is a genus of Australian spiders in the family Lycosidae first described by Roewer in 1960, later revised by Framenau & Hudson to include thirteen species. Genetic studies show that these spiders all diverged from a common ancestor who likely wandered into the salty area and remained. They live exclusively in certain saline environments of Australia's interior, including coastal beaches, mound springs, clay pans, and salt lakes. There haven't been enough studies to establish a conservation status, but some species have only been found in solitary salt lakes, suggesting that the increase of mining, agriculture, recreational, and similar disturbances of these unique ecosystems may eventually lead to their extinction if not properly regulated.
Melecosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. Its lone species is found in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China.
Lycosa aragogi is a species of the araneomorph spider family Lycosidae endemic to Kerman Province, Iran. The female holotype measured 26 mm,, with two black and three white stripes of setae on its cephalothorax, black setae on its chelicerae, and scattered dots and patterns of black and white setae on its abdomen.
