Ebo is a genus of running crab spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1884. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains thirteen species, found only in North America, Asia, and Argentina: [1]
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 500 species in thirty genera.
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.
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.
Micrathena, known as spiny orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Micrathena contains more than a hundred species, most of them Neotropical woodland-dwelling species. The name is derived from the Greek "micro", meaning "small", and the goddess Athena.
Coneweb spiders (Diguetidae) are six-eyed haplogyne spiders that live in tangled space webs, fashioning a cone-like central retreat where they hide and lay eggs. It is a small family, containing only two genera with fifteen species and is confined to the New World, preferring deserts. Members of the genus Diguetia usually build their webs in shrubs or between cactus pads. They have the same eye arrangement as the venomous recluse spiders, but none are known to be harmful to humans.
Camillina is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Lucien Berland in 1919. They are very similar to sister genus Zelotes.
Metaltella is a genus of South American intertidal spiders first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1931. One species, Metaltella simoni, has been introduced to North America.
Trachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders originally placed with the Trachelidae, and later moved to the Corinnidae.
Eustala is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Eilica is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1891.
Otiothops is a genus of palp-footed spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839.
Arachosia is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1882.
Meriola is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae, first described by Nathan Banks in 1895.
Xenoctenidae is a family of araneomorph spiders separated from Miturgidae in 2017.
Trachelopachys is a genus of South American araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897. Originally placed with the Corinnidae, it was moved to the Trachelidae in 2014.
