Orinocosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1916 by Chamberlin. As of 2017 [update] , it contains 9 species. [1]
Orinocosa comprises the following species: [1]
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, from the Ancient Greek word "λύκος" meaning "wolf". They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude and hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.
Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
The Artoriinae are a subfamily of wolf spiders. The monophyly of the subfamily has been confirmed in a molecular phylogenetic study, although the relationships among the subfamilies was shown to be less certain.
Allocosa is a spider genus of the wolf spider family, Lycosidae. The 130 or more recognized species are spread worldwide.
Pirata is a genus of wolf spiders, commonly known as pirate wolf spiders.
Trochosa is a large wolf spider genus found worldwide.
Rabidosa is a genus of spiders described by Roewer (1960). The family is Lycosidae. It contains the following species:
Caporiaccosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1960 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Caporiaccosa arctosaeformis, found in Ethiopia.
Dingosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1955 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 6 species from Australia and from South America.
Evippa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1882 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains 37 species widely distributed in Asia and Africa.
Evippomma is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1959 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 6 species.
Geolycosa is a genus of wolf spiders first described in 1904.
Megarctosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1948 by Caporiacco. As of 2017, it contains 7 species.
Pavocosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1960 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 5 species.
Proevippa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1903 by Purcell. As of 2017, it contains 11 African species.
Pterartoriola is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1959 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 5 species.
Tasmanicosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1959 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 14 species, all from Australia.
Tetralycosa is a genus of Australian spiders in the family Lycosidae first described by Roewer in 1960, later revised by Framenau & Hudson to include thirteen species. Genetic studies show that these spiders all diverged from a common ancestor who likely wandered into the salty area and remained. They live exclusively in certain saline environments of Australia's interior, including coastal beaches, mound springs, clay pans, and salt lakes. There haven't been enough studies to establish a conservation status, but some species have only been found in solitary salt lakes, suggesting that the increase of mining, agriculture, recreational, and similar disturbances of these unique ecosystems may eventually lead to their extinction if not properly regulated.
Trabeops is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1959 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Trabeops aurantiacus, found in the U.S. and Canada.
Trochosippa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1960 by Roewer. As of 2017, it contains 9 species.
