Hyptiotes puebla is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the family of spiders known as Uloboridae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in the United States and Mexico. [5] [6]
Uloboridae is a family of non-venomous spiders, known as cribellate orb weavers or hackled orb weavers. Their lack of venom glands is a secondarily evolved trait. Instead, they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body.
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields and forest. "Orb" can in English mean "circular", hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs.
Philoponella is a genus of uloborid spiders. Like all Uloboridae, these species have no venom.
Hyptiotes is a genus of spiders in the family Uloboridae.
Hyptiotes paradoxus is a spider species with Palearctic distribution. It is notably found in Lithuania and Latvia. It is also found in Estonia and Finland.
Hyptiotes dentatus is a spider species found in France.
Uloborus glomosus is a species of spider in the family Uloboridae. It is one of only a few Uloborus species found in North America and the only species found in Canada. Like all other species in the Uloboridae, Uloborus glomosus does not possess venom glands, relying instead on cribellate, a fuzzy non sticky silk that they use to trap and then wrap their prey. This species exhibits different disturbance behaviors depending on whether there are eggsacs present. If present the female spider will jerk at the web and if not present, then the female spider will walk to the opposite side of the web.
Hyptiotes analis is a species of spider of the genus Hyptiotes. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Zosis is a genus of spiders in the family Uloboridae.

Polenecia is a genus of spiders in the family Uloboridae. It was first described in 1967 by Lehtinen. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Polenecia producta, with a range of "Mediterranean to Azerbaijan".

Hyptiotes cavatus, the triangle weaver, is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the family of spiders known as Uloboridae. It is found in the United States and Canada. It uses an unusual hunting technique whereby it tightens up an anchor line of the web whilst waiting for prey. This effectively winds up and compresses the web. When prey touches the web, the spider releases the held anchor line, causing the web to spring forwards 2-3cm at high speed. This causes up to 4 additional web strands to touch the prey, and the sudden stop when the web reaches the end of its elasticity then winds the prey further into the strands. This process has analogues to the techniques by humans used to power catapults and ballistae.
