Karakumosa is a genus of Asian wolf spiders first described by Dmitri V. Logunov and A. V. Ponomarev in 2020. [2]
As of January 2022 [update] it contains ten species: [1]
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, named for their robust and agile hunting skills and excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude, hunt alone, and usually do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters, pouncing upon prey as they find it or chasing it over short distances; others wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf spiders resemble nursery web spiders, but wolf spiders carry their egg sacs by attaching them to their spinnerets, while the Pisauridae carry their egg sacs with their chelicerae and pedipalps. Two of the wolf spider's eight eyes are large and prominent; this distinguishes them from nursery web spiders, whose eyes are all of roughly equal size. This can also help distinguish them from the similar-looking grass spiders.
Aelurillus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae.
Attulus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. The name is a diminutive form of a common prefix for salticid genera, -attus.
Chalcoscirtus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1880. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek chalc-, meaning "copper", and scirt-, meaning "leap".
Plexippus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846. It is considered a senior synonym of Hissarinus and Apamamia.
Proszynskiana is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by D. V. Logunov in 1996. It is named in honor of arachnologist Jerzy Prószyński.
Yllenus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1868. Until 2019, it was considered a senior synonym of Pseudomogrus, and many of the species formerly placed here were transferred to new genera Logunyllus and Marusyllus by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016.
Alopecosa is a spider genus in the family Lycosidae, with about 160 species. They have a largely Eurasian distribution, although some species are found in North Africa and North America.
Gnaphosa is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. They all have a serrated keel on the retromargin of each chelicera.
Zaitunia is a genus of crevice weavers that was first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967.
Phyxioschema is a genus of Asian spiders in the family Euagridae. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1889.
Chalcoscirtus lepidus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Chalcoscirtus that has been found in Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan,Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The spider was first described in 1996 by Wanda Wesołowska, although the first male was identified three years later. The spider is small, with a carapace between 1.06 and 1.2 mm long and an abdomen between 1.03 and 2.2 mm long. The female is larger and lighter than the male and has three narrower stripes on the back while the male has a large scutum. In both cases, the carapace is plain. The scutum and lack of pattern on the carapace help distinguish the spider from related species. It can also be identified by its copulatory organs, particularly the long curved embolus on the male and the position of the copulatory openings on the female epigyne, which differ from the otherwise similar Chalcoscirtus infimus.
Berlandina is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Raymond de Dalmas in 1922.
Synaphosus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick & M. U. Shadab in 1980.
Bogdocosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2008 by Ponomarev & Belosludtsev. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Bogdocosa kronebergi, found in Russia, Central Asia, China and Iran. The species was first described as Alopecosa kronebergi by Andreeva in 1976. In 2018, it was synonymized with two other species, including Bogdocosa baskuntchakensis.
Marusyllus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae, found in Russia, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and China.
Dzhungarocosa is a genus of Kazakh wolf spiders first described by A. A. Fomichev & Yuri M. Marusik in 2017. As of April 2019 it contains only three species.
