Hamadruas is a genus of Asian lynx spiders that was first described by Christa Laetitia Deeleman-Reinhold in 2009. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains nine species with an Indo-Malayan distribution: [1]
Lynx spider (Oxyopidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1870. Most species make little use of webs, instead spending their lives as hunting spiders on plants. Many species frequent flowers in particular, ambushing pollinators, much as crab spiders do. They tend to tolerate members of their own species more than most spiders do, and at least one species has been identified as exhibiting social behaviour.
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.
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called antmimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (myrmex), meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη (arachne), meaning "spider".
Carrhotus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1891. The name is derived from the Greek Κάῤῥωτος.
Chrysilla is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887. Several species formerly placed here were transferred to Phintella, and vice versa. Females are 3 to 4 millimetres long, and males are 4 to 9 millimetres long. The genus is Persian, derived from the Greek Χρύσιλλα.
Pacullidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894. It was merged into Tetrablemmidae in 1958, then raised back to family status after a large phylogenetic study in 2017.
Utivarachna is a genus of Asian araneomorph spiders in the Trachelidae family first described by Kyukichi Kishida in 1940. It was largely ignored until Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold revised the sac and ground spiders in 2001, transferring some species from Trachelas and adding several new ones. The genus was further expanded in 2014 and 2015.
Koppe is a genus of liocranid sac spiders first described by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold in 2001.
Oedignatha is a genus of Asian spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881 as a genus of corrinid sac spiders, and moved to Liocranidae in 2014.
Medmassa is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1887 under the name "Megaera", later renamed because "Megaera" was already in use as a synonym of the reptile genus Trimeresurus.
Corinnomma is a genus of African and Asian corinnid sac spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1880.
Hamataliwa is a genus of lynx spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1887.
Parabathippus is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by J. X. Zhang & Wayne Paul Maddison in 2012.
Christa Laetitia Deeleman-Reinhold is a Dutch arachnologist. She graduated from the Leiden University in 1978. She specializes in spiders from Southeast Asia and Southern Europe, particularly cave-dwelling and tropical spiders. She donated a collection of about 25,000 Southeast Asian spiders, the largest collection of Southeast Asian spiders in existence, to the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. In addition to numerous articles, she has written the book Forest Spiders of South East Asia (2001). She is married to arachnologist Paul Robert Deeleman, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
Althepus is a genus of spiders in the Psilodercidae family. It was first described in 1898 by Tamerlan Thorell. As of 2019, it contains 60 species, all from Asia.
Otacilia is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the Phrurolithidae family, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1897.
Teutamus is a genus of Southeast Asian liocranid sac spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890.
