Zyuzicosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2010 by Logunov. As of 2017 [update] , it contains 10 species. [1]
Zyuzicosa comprises the following species: [1]
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, from the Ancient Greek word "λύκος" meaning "wolf". They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude and hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.
Attulus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. The name is a diminutive form of a common prefix for salticid genera, -attus.
Evarcha is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae with 85 species distributed across the world.
Habrocestoides is a genus of the spider family Salticidae. Most species are endemic to India, with H. phulchokiensis found only in Nepal.
Lyssomanes is a spider genus of the family Salticidae, ranging from South and Central America, up to the southern United States.
Microbianor is a genus of African jumping spiders that was first described by D. V. Logunov in 2000. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek μικρός (micro), meaning "small", and the genus Bianor.
Plexippus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846. It is considered a senior synonym of Hissarinus and Apamamia.
Yllenus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1868. Until 2019, it was considered a senior synonym of Pseudomogrus, and many of the species formerly placed here were transferred to new genera Logunyllus and Marusyllus by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016.
Alopecosa is a spider genus in the family Lycosidae, with about 160 species. They have a largely Eurasian distribution, although some species are found in North Africa and North America.
Saaristattus is a monotypic genus of Malaysian jumping spiders containing the single species, Saaristattus tropicus. It was first described by D. V. Logunov & G. N. Azarkina in 2008, and is found only in Malaysia. The name is a combination of Michael Saaristo and attus, a common suffix for salticid genera, meaning "jumper". The species name means "tropical".
Attulus inexpectus is a species of spider from family Salticidae, found in from Europe to central Asia. It was previously misidentified as Attulus rupicola.
Tigrosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae, found in North America.
Berlandina is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by R. de Dalmas in 1922.
Geolycosa is a genus of wolf spiders first described in 1904.
Kangarosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 2010 by Framenau. As of 2017, it contains 10 species from Australia.
Melecosa is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. Its lone species is found in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China.
Marusyllus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae, found in Russia, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and China.
Michael I. Saaristo was a Finnish arachnologist, with a particular interest in the spiders of the Seychelles. The World Spider Catalog lists 61 genus names or synonyms and 109 species names or synonyms of which he is the sole or co-author.
Sibianor nigriculus is a jumping spider species that lives in Japan, Korea and Russia. The species was originally identified in 1992 and placed in the genus Harmochirus but was moved to Sibianor when that genus was established in 2000. Sibianor nigriculus is closely related to Sibianor aurocinctus and Sibianor turkestanicus, which makes the spiders hard to distinguish, particularly the females of S. aurocinctus and S. nigriculus.
Pseudomogrus is a genus of jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1937.
