Titiotus shantzi is a species of false wolf spiders & wandering spiders in the family Zoropsidae. It is found in the United States. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Huntsman spiders, members of the family Sparassidae, are known by this name because of their speed and mode of hunting. They are also called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places. In southern Africa the genus Palystes are known as rain spiders or lizard-eating spiders. Commonly, they are confused with baboon spiders from the Mygalomorphae infraorder, which are not closely related.
The Araneomorphae are an infraorder of spiders. They are distinguishable by chelicerae (fangs) that point diagonally forward and cross in a pinching action, in contrast to the Mygalomorphae, where they point straight down. Araneomorphs comprise the vast majority of living spiders.
The Pholcidae are a family of araneomorph spiders. The family contains more than 1,800 individual species of pholcids, including those commonly known as cellar spider, daddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, vibrating spider, gyrating spider, long daddy, and skull spider. The family, first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850, is divided into 94 genera.
Tengellidae is a former family of spiders that has been merged into the family Zoropsidae. Genera formerly placed in Tengellidae now in Zoropsidae include:
Psechridae is a family of araneomorph spiders with about 70 species in two genera. These are among the biggest cribellate spiders with body lengths up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) and funnel webs more than 1 metre in diameter.
Anapidae is a family of rather small spiders with 232 described species in 58 genera. It includes the former family Micropholcommatidae as the subfamily Micropholcommatinae, and the former family Holarchaeidae. Most species are less than 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long.
Gertschanapis is a genus of North American araneomorph spiders in the family Anapidae, containing the single species, Gertschanapis shantzi. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick & Raymond Robert Forster in 1990, and has only been found in United States.
Titiotus californicus is a species of araneomorphic Araneae of the family Zoropsidae that can be found in the state of California, after which it is aptly named. The species was first described by Eugène Simon in 1897 in his encyclopedic work Histoire Naturelle des Araignées.
Titiotus is a genus of American false wolf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1897.
Anachemmis is a genus of North American false wolf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1919. It was briefly synonymized with Titiotus, but was reconfirmed as its own distinct genus in 1999.
Socalchemmis is a genus of North American false wolf spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick & D. Ubick in 2001. The genus name comes from a shortening of the phrase "Southern Californian Chemmis", as the genus was discovered in California.
Enoplognatha marmorata, the marbled cobweb spider, is a species of cobweb spider in the family Theridiidae. It is found in North America.
Habronattus signatus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
Mastophora cornigera is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in a range from the United States to Nicaragua. Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.
Mastophora bisaccata is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is also known as Mastaphora obesa. It is found in the United States and Mexico. Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.
Thanatus vulgaris is a species of running crab spider in the family Philodromidae. It is found in North America, Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Israel, Caucasus, a range from Russia, Central Asia, China, and Korea.
Castianeira crocata is a species of true spider in the family Corinnidae, sometimes called by the common name red stripe spider. It is found in the United States. Though its body shape is quite different, its characteristic black body and red-marked back puts it at risk of being mistaken for a black widow spider.
Titiotus flavescens is a species of false wolf spiders & wandering spiders in the family Zoropsidae. It is found in the United States.
Socalchemmis shantzi is a species of false wolf spiders & wandering spiders in the family Zoropsidae. It is found in the United States.
