Ticopa is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2017 [update] , it contains 6 species, all from Australia. [1]
Ticopa comprises the following species: [1]
The Mygalomorphae, or mygalomorphs, are an infraorder of spiders. The name is derived from the Greek mygalē, meaning "shrew", plus morphē meaning form or shape. An older name for the group is Orthognatha, derived from the orientation of the fangs which point straight down and do not cross each other. In 1802, Charles Athanase Walckenaer separated mygalomorph spiders into a separate genus, Mygale, leaving all other spiders in Aranea.
The family Dipluridae, known as curtain-web spiders are a group of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae, that have two pairs of booklungs, and chelicerae (fangs) that move up and down in a stabbing motion. A number of genera, including that of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax), used to be classified in this family but have now been moved to Hexathelidae.
The sac spiders of the family Clubionidae have a very confusing taxonomic history. Once, this family was a large catch-all taxon for a disparate collection of spiders, similar only in that they had eight eyes arranged in two rows and conical anterior spinnerets that touched, and were wandering predators that built silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark, or under rocks. These are now recognized to include several families, some of which are more closely related to the three-clawed spiders, like lynx and wolf spiders, than to Clubionidae and related families.
Corinnidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, sometimes called corinnid sac spiders. The family, like other "clubionoid" families, has a confusing taxonomic history. Once it was a part of the large catch-all taxon Clubionidae, now very much smaller. The original members of the family are apparently similar only in that they have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touch and are generally wandering predators that build silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks.
The Dionycha are a clade of spiders (Araneomorphae:Entelegynae), characterized by the possession of two tarsal claws with tufts of hairs (setae) beside them, which produce strong adhesion, enabling some species to climb glass. The circumscription of the group has varied widely; a 2014 analysis resulted in about 20 families, including Salticidae, Thomisidae, and Clubionidae. Spiders in this group have better senses than others, some even show courtship dances and songs.
Battalus is a genus of Australian corinnid sac spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1878. Originally placed with the ground spiders, it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2015.
Nyssus coloripes, known as the orange-legged swift spider, is a spider belonging to the family Corinnidae. It is found commonly in Australia and New Zealand.
Trachelidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897 as a subfamily called "Tracheleae". The Trachelidae family, also known as "ground sac spiders", is within the group of spiders known as the RTA clade, which includes mostly wandering spiders that do not use webs. Spiders in the Trachelidae family are characterized as being 3-10mm long and having a red cephalothorax and a yellow/tan abdomen. They are commonly found indoors. It was placed in the family Clubionidae, then later in Corinnidae when the Clubionidae were split up. The first study that suggested Trachelidae should be considered its own family was done by Deeleman-reinhold in 2001 as part of an analysis of RTA Clade spiders. An analysis by Martín J. Ramírez in 2014 suggested that it was not closely related to other members of the Corinnidae, and was better treated as a separate family. It was then placed in the CTC clade of spiders, or the Claw Tuft Clasper clade, which is a group of spiders that have two tarsal claws with tufts of hair.
Utivarachna is a genus of Asian araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae first described by Kyukichi Kishida in 1940. It was largely ignored until Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold revised the sac and ground spiders in 2001, transferring some species from Trachelas and adding several new ones. The genus was further expanded in 2014 and 2015.
Pteroneta is a genus of sac spiders first described by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold in 2001.
Leichhardteus is a genus of Australian corinnid sac spiders first described by B. C. Baehr & Robert Raven in 2013.
Medmassa is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1887 under the name "Megaera", later renamed because "Megaera" was already in use as a synonym of the reptile genus Trimeresurus.
Parachemmis is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Arthur M. Chickering in 1937 as a genus of ground spiders. It was transferred to Liocranidae in 1969, and to Corinnidae in 1994.
Disnyssus is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2016 it contains 2 species, both from Queensland.
Iridonyssus is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2016 it contains 4 species from Australia.
Kolora is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2016 it contains 4 species, all found in Queensland.
Leptopicia is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Leptopicia bimaculata, found in Australia.
Nucastia is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2016 it contains 5 species from Australia.
Ozcopa is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2017, it contains 6 species, all from Queensland.
Melanesotypus is a genus of spiders in the family Corinnidae. It was first described in 2015 by Raven. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Melanesotypus guadal, from the Solomon Islands.
