Lipocrea is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1878. [2]

In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
