Notable species are the Hawaiian happy face spider (T. grallator), named for the iconic symbol on its abdomen, and T. nigroannulatum, one of few spider species that lives in social groups, attacking prey en masse to overwhelm them as a team.
Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
