Henriksenia is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 2004. [2]
As of October 2023 [update] , the World Spider Catalog accepted four species: [1]
The Thomisidae are a family of spiders, including about 170 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.
Henriksenia nepenthicola, synonym Misumenops nepenthicola, is a species of crab spider. It is native to Singapore. It lives inside the pitchers of a number of lowland Nepenthes pitcher plants. As such, it is classified as a nepenthephile. They are slow-moving spiders which do not actively hunt. Males and females both reach a length of 6 mm.
Hindumanes is a genus of jumping spiders found in India. The name Hindumanes is a portmanteau of "Hindu", the dominant religion of India, and Lyssomanes, the genus H. karnatakaensis was initially assigned to. As of August 2023, two species have been described:
Pistius is a genus of crab spiders with nine described species. Most occur in Asia, only P. truncatus has a palaearctic distribution.
Runcinia is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1875. The former R. elongata is a synonym of Thomisus elongatus.
The genus Oxytate, commonly known as grass crab spiders, comprises a homogenous group of nocturnal crab spiders. The complete mitochondrial genome of the type species O. striatipes was determined in 2014.
Boliscus is a genus of Asian crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1891. As of February 2019 it contains only three species.
Borboropactus is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Epidius is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877. It is a senior synonym of Pothaeus.
Angaeus is a genus of Asian crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881. It is considered a senior synonym of Paraborboropactus.
Ansiea is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 2004. This genus was named in honour of South African arachnologist Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman. As of June 2020 it contains two species found in Africa and Saudi Arabia: A. buettikeri and A. tuckeri.
Bassaniodes is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1903.
Camaricus is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887.
Cyriogonus is a genus of African crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1886.
Demogenes is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
Ebelingia is a genus of Asian crab spiders consisting of two species separated from Mecaphesa due to their distinct abdominal pattern and the unique color pattern of their body and legs. As of April 2022 it contains three species found throughout Asia: E. forcipata, E. hubeiensis and E. kumadai.
Ebrechtella is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1907.
Misumessus is a genus of North American and Caribbean crab spiders first described by Nathan Banks in 1904. They look similar to members of Misumena, but are much spinier. It was considered a monotypic genus until 2017, but its taxonomic standing has been debated throughout the 20th century, first as a synonym of Misumenops, then later as its subgenus. It was raised to genus status in 2008, but has still been confused with similar genera, some of which were only known by character descriptions made by Eugène Simon nearly fifty years earlier.
Bomis is a genus of very small crab spiders, first described by German arachnologist Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1874. Five species are currently described, with three species from India and two from Australia.
Misumenini is a tribe of spiders in the family Thomisidae.
