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…
The aim of this project is to study the systematics and distribution of the main families of haplogyne spiders from the Neotropical region. The taxa included are Mygalomorphae, Haplogynae and Palpimanidae, all of which present the haplogyne type of genitalia, with females presenting fused copulation and fertilization ducts and males presesenting very simple palps devoid of accessory scler…

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 …
As all other Sparassidae, spiders of the genus Polybetes Simon are wandering, laterigrade, have a bi or trilobate membrane at the dorsal distal end of leg metatarsi, two tarsal claws and scopulate tarsi and metatarsi. They also exhibit the anterior eye row slightly recurved and only two promarginal teeth on the chelicerae. The genus currently includes thirteen species distributed througho…
Prodidomidae Simon includes small to median-sized spiders, with two tarsal claws, without cribellum and usually with eight eyes. The family is characterized by having the pyriform gland spigots of the anterior lateral spinnerets greatly elongated and with highly plumose setae. Its distribution covers the Tropical and Subtropical regions of the planet, with the greatest diversity in the Ne…
