This project has two focuses with a common purpose, to work and expand the systematic and distributional studies of the main haplogynous spider families of the Neotropical region. We consider the target of this study to be the Haplogynae and Palpimanidae araneomorphs, spiders that present a haplogynous condition of the genitalia, that is, a female vulva with a blind bottom, with fused cop…
Currently, Sparassidae includes 1150 species in 83 genera distributed worldwide. Based on the suprageneric classification proposed by Simon and results of a recent cladistic analysis the family is divided into ten subfamilies (Chrosioderminae, Clastinae, Deleninae, Eusparassinae, Heteropodinae, Palystinae, Polybetinae, Sparassinae, Sparianthinae and Staianeinae). Of these, five include ge…
Currently Sparassidae includes 113 species in 85 genera, distributed worldwide. The first subfamilial classification was proposed by Simon over 100 years ago and is to date considered valid, with slight modifications. According to this classification, Sparassidae is divided into 9 subfamilies (Sparassinae, Sparianthinae, Heteropodinae, Eusparassinae, Palystinae, Clastinae, Staneinae, Chro…

Sparassidae includes small to large-sized, wandering, laterigrade spiders, with two tarsal claws and scopulae on tarsi and metatarsi. Its main synapomorphies are the presence of a trilobate membrane at the distal dorsal end of the metatarsi and claw tufts with distally bifid setae. Currently, it includes 1456 species, in 96 genera, distributed worldwide. Among the Sparassidae, spiders of …
Spiders of the Scytodidae family are popularly known as "spitting spiders", due to their characteristic hunting habit, in which they eject a sticky silk produced in the prosoma glands through slits in the chelicerae, immobilizing their prey. The cluster of silk and poison is ejected very quickly (140ms), and can hit its target from a few centimeters away. They mostly have a nocturnal habi…
Spiders of the family Philodromidae are ambush hunters, with laterigrade legs, eyes without tubercules, two tarsal claws, well developed scopulae and claw tufts. Although very common in zoological collections, their systematics is poorly known, especially in the Neotropics, and their specimens are usually identified only at family level. Gephyrellula Strand, is a great example. With only …
