Pirate spiders, members of the family Mimetidae, are araneomorph spiders which typically feed on other spiders.
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.
Metepeira is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1903. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek μετά and the obsolete genus name Epeira, denoting a genus similar to Epeira.
Glenognatha is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1887. It was considerably revised in 2016.
Gelanor waorani is a species of neotropical spiders from South America in the family Mimetidae.
Gelanor siquirres is a species of neotropical spiders from Costa Rica in the family Mimetidae. It hunts by intercepting the lines orb weavers use to start their webs with its own silk lines, pursuing the captured weavers.
