Turkozelotes is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by M. M. Kovblyuk in 2009. [2] As of May 2019 [update] it contains only three species: T. mccowani , T. microb , and T. mirandus . [1]
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae. They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude, hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters, pouncing upon prey as they find it or chasing it over short distances; others wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.
Ground spiders comprise Gnaphosidae, the seventh largest spider family with over 2,000 described species in over 100 genera distributed worldwide. There are 105 species known to central Europe, and common genera include Gnaphosa, Drassodes, Micaria, Cesonia, Zelotes and many others. They are closely related to Clubionidae. At present, no ground spiders are known to be seriously venomous to humans.
Tegenaria is a genus of fast-running funnel weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, though many of its species have been moved elsewhere. The majority of these were moved to Eratigena, including the giant house spider and the hobo spider.
Amaurobiidae is a family of three-clawed cribellate or ecribellate spiders found in crevices and hollows or under stones where they build retreats, and are often collected in pitfall traps. Unlidded burrows are sometimes quite obvious in crusty, loamy soil. They are difficult to distinguish from related spiders in other families, especially Agelenidae, Desidae and Amphinectidae. Their intra- and interfamilial relationships are contentious. According to the World Spider Catalog, 2019, the family Amaurobiidae includes about 275 species in 49 genera.
Amaurobius antipovae is a species of spider in the family Amaurobiidae, found in Russia and Georgia.
Cybaeus abchasicus is a spider species found in Turkey, Georgia, and Russia. It lives in caves.
Cheiracanthiidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Vladimir Wagner in 1887. The synonym Eutichuridae was used for a long time, but Cheiracanthiidae has priority. The largest genus currently recognized as belonging to this family is Cheiracanthium, which has previously been placed in both the Clubionidae and the Miturgidae.
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.
Xerolycosa is a small genus of wolf spiders in the family Lycosidae, subfamily Evippinae, consisting of three species which have a Palearctic distribution and one with an Afro-tropical distribution.
Micaria is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. They are 1.3 to 6.5 millimetres long.
Ovtchinnikovia is a genus of Asian tangled nest spiders containing the single species, Ovtchinnikovia caucasica. It was first described by Yuri M. Marusik, M. M. Kovblyuk & A. V. Ponomarev in 2010, and has only been found in Russia.
Scotolathys is a monotypic genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae containing the single species, Scotolathys simplex. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1884, and separated from Lathys into its own genus in 2009. Species occur in Algeria, Spain, Macedonia, Greece, Ukraine, and in Israel.
Synaphris is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Synaphridae, and was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. Originally placed with the tangle web spiders, it was moved to the Symphytognathidae in 1973, and to the Synaphridae in 2003.
Parasyrisca is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by E. Schenkel in 1963. Originally placed with the sac spiders, it was moved to the Miturgidae in 1967, then to the ground spiders in 1988.
Deliriosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2009 by Kovblyuk. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Deliriosa chiragrica, found in Ukraine.
Cozyptila is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Y. M. Marusik, Pekka T. Lehtinen & M. M. Kovblyuk in 2005. As of July 2020 it contains three species, found in Europe and on Cyprus: C. blackwalli, C. guseinovorum, and C. nigristernum.
Shaitan is a monotypic genus of ground spiders containing the single species, Shaitan elchini. It was first described by M. M. Kovblyuk, Z. A. Kastrygina & Yuri M. Marusik in 2013, and has only been found in Russia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.
Lasophorus is a genus of ground spiders first described by M. Chatzaki in 2018. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Marjanus is a genus of ground spiders containing the single species, Marjanus platnicki. It was first described by M. Chatzaki in 2018, and is only found in Greece and China.
Echemus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1878.
