Mangromedes kochi, syn. Nilus kochi, is a species of spiders in the family Dolomedidae. It is found in Queensland, Australia. [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.
Nursery web spiders (Pisauridae) are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1890. Females of the family are known for building special nursery webs. When their eggs are about to hatch, a female spider builds a tent-like web, places her egg sac inside, and stands guard outside, hence the family's common name. Like wolf spiders, however, nursery web spiders are roaming hunters that do not use webs for catching prey.
Ammotrechidae is a family of solifuges distributed in the Americas and the Caribbean Islands. It includes 26 described genera and 95 species. Members of this family can be distinguished from members of other families by the absence of claws on tarsi of leg I, tarsal segmentation 1-2-2-(2-4), pedipalps with pairs of lateroventral spines, and by males having an immovable flagellum on the mesal face of each chelicerum. The propeltidium of the Ammotrechidae is recurved.
Aelurillus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae.
Thiodina is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1900.
Agelena is a genus of agelenid spiders first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1805. Sometimes referred to as Eurasian grass spiders, they trap their prey by weaving entangling non-sticky funnel webs. They are limited to the Old World, occurring from Africa to Japan. Many species have been moved to other genera, particularly to Allagelena, Benoitia and Mistaria.
Carl Friedrich Roewer was a German arachnologist. He concentrated on harvestmen, where he described almost a third (2,260) of today's known species, but also almost 700 taxa of spiders and numerous Solifugae.
Eremobatidae is a family of solifuges endemic to North America, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1901.
Trochosa is a large wolf spider genus found worldwide.
Dolomedes elegans is a species of spider in the family Dolomedidae, found in French Guiana.
Linyphia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. The name is Greek, and means "thread-weaver" or "linen maker".
Artema is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837.
Anomalosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1960 by Carl Friedrich Roewer. The type species is Anomalosa kochi.
Eremochelis is a genus of Eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Ammotrechella is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Eremocosta is a genus of Eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Alopecosa kochi is a species of wolf spider in the family Lycosidae. It is found in North America, including Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Mangromedes is a genus of spiders in the family Pisauridae.
Ammotrechula is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Anomalosa kochi is a spider in the Lycosidae family. It was first described in 1898 by Eugène Simon as Anomalomma kochi. In 1960, it was transferred to the genus Anomalosa by Carl Friedrich Roewer. The current description is given by Volker Framenau.
