Latrodectus

Western black widow Latrodectus hesperus, copyright Marshal Hedin.


Belongs within: Theridiidae.

Latrodectus, the widow spiders, is a cosmopolitan genus of cob web spiders including a number of species of medical interest due to their toxic bites. Members of the genus are characterised by widely separated lateral eyes, a large colulus, and the absence of cheliceral teeth (Garb et al. 2004).

Araneoidea

Pirate spider Ero furcata, copyright Tone Killick.


Belongs within: Neocribellatae.
Contains: Nesticidae, Theridiidae, Synotaxidae, Cyatholipidae, Nephilidae, Araneidae, Theridiosomatidae, Symphytognathidae, Mysmenidae, Anapidae, Linyphiidae, Tetragnathidae.

The Araneoidea are a clade of spiders that commonly construct elaborate webs for capturing prey such as orb or cob webs. Members include the Mimetidae, pirate spiders, which are small spiders with peg teeth on the chelicerae and prolateral rows of interspersed large and small spines on the first two tibiae and metatarsi; members of this family are typically araneophagous and do not construct a web (Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007).

Synapomorphies (from Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007): Cribellum absent; posterior lateral spinnerets with two aciniform gland spigots flanking flagelliform gland spigot; setae serrate; labium short; lateral eyes juxtaposed at least in males.

Synotaxidae

Nomaua repanga, copyright Te Papa Tongarewa.


Belongs within: Araneoidea.

The Synotaxidae are a group of small spiders found in Australasia and South America. They construct webs that vary from irregular sheets to an inverted bowl or lattice-like structure (Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007).

Characters (from Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007): Very small to small; three tarsal claws; ecribellate; entelegyne; eight eyes; paracymbium small, basal, dorsally excavate; cymbium with longitudinal incision on retrolateral margin; male palp with thickened macrosetae dorsally on femur and sometimes patella and tibia; femora basally thickened.

Nesticidae

Nesticus cellulanus, copyright Gernot Kunz.


Belongs within: Araneoidea.

The Nesticidae, cave cobweb spiders, are a group of small spiders that primarily build their highly elastic cobwebs in dark locations. They are distinguished from the closely related Theridiidae by morphology of the male palp, in which the paracymbium is large and proximal, and the cymbium is rebordered (Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007).

Characters (from Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007): Very small to small; eight eyes present in two rows; cheliceral fang furrow with two or three strong teeth and irregular group of numerous small denticles; labium rebordered; legs with three tarsal claws, tarsi IV with row of serrated bristles; ecribellate; entelegyne.

Araneidae

Basilica spider Mecynogea lemniscata, copyright Volcano.


Belongs within: Araneoidea.
Contains: Nephilinae, Micratheninae, Cyclosini, Gasteracanthinae, Mangora, Argiope, Cyrtophora, Cyrtarachninae, Neoscona, Araneus.

The Araneidae are the largest family of orb-weaving spiders, members of which construct an orb web with a sticky spiral, or a modification thereof (Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007). Members of the family are morphologically and behaviourally diverse and their classification has long been confused. As recognised below, araneids are united by the presence of modified setae (the sustentaculum) on the tip of the fourth tarsi and the presence of a radix in the embolic division of the male palp (Scharff et al. 2020) and may be divided between three major clades. The Zygiellinae are characterised by spinnerets with aggregate spigots apart from flagelliform spigots, and construct webs using doubled radial threads and incorporating a silken tube retreat. A second clade unites the Nephilinae with the southern Australian Paraplectanoides crassipes.

The remaining araneids are united by molecular data into a clade informally dubbed the 'ARA clade' by Scharff et al. (2020). Historical subfamilial divisions within this clade remain of uncertain validity. In particular, the subfamily Araneinae, as historically defined by the presence of tubercles on the femur of the male pedipalp and an epigynal scape in the female, appears to be highly polyphyletic. Members of the Cyrtophorinae have the piriform spinning field on the anterior lateral spinnerets reduced to a narrow ribbon, and construct their web as a horizontal, tightly woven mesh with an extremely tight, permanent non-sticky spiral (Framenau & Scharff 2009). The Argiopeae have a procurved posterior eye row with a reduced canoe-shaped tapetum in the lateral eyes, and the male palp possesses a thread-like spur on the median apophysis (Scharff & Coddington 1997).

Characters (from Jocqué & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2007): Small to large; eight eyes present in two rows with lateral eyes widely separated from median eyes; labium rebordered; legs with three tarsal claws, usually with numerous spines and sustentaculum on tarsus IV; abdomen globose, overhanging the carapace; ecribellate; male palp with mesal cymbium, median apophysis and radix in embolic division; entelegyne.
