Porropis is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1876 by L. Koch. As of 2017 [update] , it contains 6 species. [1]
Porropis comprises the following species: [1]
The Thomisidae are a family of spiders, including about 175 genera and over 2,100 species. The common name crab spider is often linked to species in this family, but is also applied loosely to many other families of spiders. Many members of this family are also known as flower spiders or flower crab spiders.
Xysticus is a genus of ground crab spiders described by C. L. Koch in 1835, belonging to the order Araneae, family Thomisidae. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek root xyst, meaning "scraped, scraper".
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.
Diaea is a genus of crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869. Most species are found in specific locations except for D. livens, which occurs both in the United States and D. dorsata, which has a palearctic distribution. Adults are 5 millimetres (0.20 in) to 7 millimetres (0.28 in) and tend to hide in and around vegetation, especially flowers, where their color allows them to blend in to their surroundings.
Runcinia is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1875. The former R. elongata is a synonym of Thomisus elongatus.
Euophryini is a tribe of jumping spiders. It has also been treated as the subfamily Euophryinae.
The genus Oxytate, commonly known as grass crab spiders, comprises a homogenous group of nocturnal crab spiders. The complete mitochondrial genome of the type species O. striatipes was determined in 2014.
Coriarachne is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1870. Over half of described species have been synonymized or moved to similar genera, including Bassaniana, Bassaniodes, and Pycnaxis.
Cymbacha is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1874.
Angaeus is a genus of Asian crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881. It is considered a senior synonym of Paraborboropactus.
Bassaniodes is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1903.
Corynethrix is a monotypic genus of South Pacific crab spiders containing the single species, Corynethrix obscura. It was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1876 based on a female specimen. They have been found in New South Wales and Queensland. A male has not yet been identified, and there is very little known about the biology and behavior of this species and its relatives.
Hedana is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1874.
Mastira is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1891 by Thorell. As of 2017, it contains 10 species.
Rhaebobates is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1881 by Thorell. As of 2017, it contains 2 species, both from New Guinea.
Stephanopis is a genus of crab spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1869. The genus Stephanopis was erected for five newly described species, including S. altifrons, from Australia. Stephanopis was characterized by the high cephalic region with unequally sized anterior eyes disposed in a strongly recurved row, opisthosoma ending in several spiniform projections and dorsoventrally depressed habitus. According to Pickard-Cambridge, the single specimen used for the description of S. altifrons was dry-pinned. Therefore the specimen could not be properly examined, so it was not possible to determine if the specimen was adult. Moreover, he states his own sketch of the spider as “hasty”. This may explain why the somatic characters were inadequately described, genitalic features were not mentioned at all, and the illustrations were not detailed enough, making the species unidentifiable.
Tharpyna is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1874 by L. Koch. As of 2017, it contains 12 species from Australia, India, and Indonesia.
Tharrhalea is a genus of crab spiders first described in 1875 by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch.
Australomisidia is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 2014 by Szymkowiak. As of 2017, it contains 8 species, all from Australia.
