Sac Spider - Genera

Genera

Among the families formerly classified as sac spiders, some of which have common names including the words "sac spider", include:

  • Anyphaenidae (anyphaenid sac spider)
  • Tengellidae (tengellid spider)
  • Zorocratidae (zorocratid spider)
  • Miturgidae (long-legged sac spider)
  • Corinnidae (corinnid sac spider)
  • Liocranidae (liocranid sac spider)

as well as the remnant Clubionidae (now consisting of a little over 500 species in 15 genera worldwide). However "sac spider" used on its own should imply a member of the family Clubionidae.

In North America the family as it is now recognised consists of only two genera, Clubiona and Elaver (formerly Clubionoides). Clubiona is nearly worldwide in distribution.

Famous quotes containing the word genera:

    Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
