Trachelas tranquillus, the broad-faced sac spider, is a species of true spider in the family Trachelidae. It is found in the United States and Canada. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Dysderidae, also known as woodlouse hunters, sowbug-eating spiders, and cell spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837. They are found primarily in Eurasia, extending into North Africa with very few species occurring in South America. Dysdera crocata is introduced into many regions of the world.
Diguetia is a genus of coneweb spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. Members of this genus are six-eyed spiders that are either white or patterned. They are common in the southwestern United States and Mexico, and one species is found in Argentina. In the United States, species have been found in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. These spiders build a tubular retreat at the tip of their tent-like webs. Once an insect is caught in the web, the spider bites it and injects venom to stop its prey from moving, later wrapping it in silk. Both males and females use stridulation while mating, with females also stridulating when harassed. Two species of jumping spiders feed on its eggs. There are eleven Diguetia species.
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.
Trachelas oreophilus is a species of spiders of the genus Trachelas. It is native to India and Sri Lanka.
Trachelas quisquiliarum, is a species of spider of the genus Trachelas. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Trachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders originally placed with the Trachelidae, and later moved to the Corinnidae.
Trachelas pacificus is a species of true spider in the family Trachelidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
Titiotus flavescens is a species of false wolf spiders & wandering spiders in the family Zoropsidae. It is found in the United States.
Clubiona kastoni, the kaston sac spider, is a species of sac spider in the family Clubionidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Diguetia albolineata is a species of desertshrub spider in the family Diguetidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
Herpyllus cockerelli is a species of ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
Philodromus marxi, the metallic crab spider, is a species of running crab spider in the family Philodromidae. It is found in the United States.
Mastophora phrynosoma is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in the United States. 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.
Pocadicnemis pumila is a species of dwarf spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in North America, Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, a range from Russia, and Japan.
Scytodes fusca, the brown spitting spider, is a species of spitting spider in the family Scytodidae. It is found in Central and Southern America, has been introduced into Europe, tropical Africa, Seychelles, Myanmar, China, Japan, and Hawaii.
Phidippus comatus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is found in North America.
Trachelas volutus is a species of true spider in the family Trachelidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
