Thelechoris striatipes is a species of spider in the family Ischnothelidae. [1] It is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa.
T. striatipes is found in Madagascar, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, Mozambique, and South Africa. [2]
T. striatipes is widely distributed in Africa. This wide geographic range is presumably the result, in part, of this species' ability to inhabit a wide variety of natural and disturbed habitats. They make large ill-defined sheet-web with a funnel retreat to detect and capture prey in trees or from under stones, soil crevices, logs or moss mats or above ground in protected spots at the base of plants. Sampled from Savanna, Forest and Grassland biomes. [2]
