Philodromidae
Philodromidae, also known as philodromid crab spiders and running crab spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell in 1870 (then known as subfamily Philodrominae within Thomisidae). It contains over 500 species in thirty genera. The most common genus is ''Philodromus'' which is widespread, similar to ''Ebo''. Other common genera include the elongate grass-dwelling '' Tibellus'' and the widespread '' Thanatus'', which includes the house crab spider that commonly captures flies on and in buildings. Description Philodromids have a crab-like shape due to the first two pairs of legs being oriented sideways (laterigrade). This is superficially similar to the "true" crab spiders (Thomisidae), such as ''Misumena vatia,'' but these families are not as closely related as previously thought. Unlike crab spiders, the legs are generally similar in size, though the second leg pair may be significantly longer than the first pair. This is most e ...

Thanatus
''Thanatus'' is a genus of false crab spiders described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837, belonging to the order Araneae, family Philodromidae. Species of this genus are present in most of Europe. Adult members of this genus of spiders can reach in length and can mostly be encountered above the soil surface (epigeal organism) on low vegetation. The members of this genus have a clear leaf-like cardiac mark on the anterior dorsal elongated abdomen. They are very similar to ''Philodromus'' species, but they can mainly be distinguished by differences in the eyes. Species This genus includes approximately 100 species: * '' Thanatus africanus'' Karsch, 1878 * '' Thanatus albescens'' O. P.-Cambridge, 1885 * '' Thanatus alpinus'' Kulczyński, 1887 * '' Thanatus altimontis'' Gertsch, 1933 * '' Thanatus arcticus'' Thorell, 1872 * '' Thanatus arenarius'' Thorell, 1872 * '' Thanatus arenicola'' (Schmidt, 1976) * '' Thanatus aridorum'' Silhavy, 1940 * '' Thanatus atlanticus'' Berland, 193 ...

Tibellus
''Tibellus'' is a genus of slender crab spiders described by Simon in 1875, belonging to the order Spider, Araneae, family Philodromidae. Species of this genus are present in Eurasia, Africa, Americas and Australia. Description Adult members of this genus can reach of length and can mostly be encountered above the soil surface (epigeal organism) on low vegetation, foliage or herbaceous plants, where they actively pursue their preys, as they do not make webs. This genus, which includes active hunters, was once considered a subfamily within the sedentary 'crab spiders' (Thomisidae species). The basic color of the body is light brown or pale yellow. It is elongate and slender (hence the common name), the carapace (prosoma) and the cylindrical abdomen (opisthosoma) show a large brown stripe in the midline of the back. The long and thin legs are more or less equal in length and they usually are stretched out along grass stems or leaves, the first two pairs forwardly directed. They g ...
