Cupiennius
''Cupiennius'', known by the common name bromeliad spiders or as the often confused name banana spiders, is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trechaleidae, named by Eugène Simon in 1891. They are found from Mexico to northwestern South America, and on some Caribbean islands. Unlike the dangerously venomous ''Phoneutria'', bites from these spiders typically have only minor effects on humans, and have been compared to a bee sting. Members of this genus come in a range of sizes, from cephalothorax lengths less than to large species, with a cephalothorax length of . The larger species are sometimes found far outside their native ranges in shipments of fruits, where they are frequently confused with ''Phoneutria'' spiders. Description These spiders hide during the day then come out to hunt during the night. They usually hide in particular plants, usually in bromeliads, agaves and the banana family. They are medium to large spiders, and are usually a grey, brown o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cupiennius Salei
''Cupiennius salei'', commonly called the tiger bromeliad spider, are large bodied, actively-hunting spiders that are part of the family Trechaleidae. They are found in Central America and Mexico, while other species in the genus are also found in various parts of South America. They are visually similar to another group called wandering spiders (but also see that diverse kinds often get mistakenly called banana spiders). More precisely, this species naturally occurs in Eastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua and possibly into northwestern Costa Rica. Yet, it has also been introduced to various parts of the world either by accidental imports (such as in the early 20th century from banana plantations), or deliberately introduced elsewhere as either a laboratory model organism or an exotic pet. However, it has not yet been recorded as established in the wild outside of its native Mexico and Central America. In the mid-1950s it was realised that the spider is an ideal ...

Phoneutria
''Phoneutria'' is a genus of spiders in the family Ctenidae. Phoneutria venom is potentially medically significant to humans. They are mainly found in northern South America, with one species in Central America. Members of the genus are commonly referred to as Brazilian wandering spiders. Other English names include armed spiders (''armadeiras'' in Brazilian Portuguese) and banana spiders (a name shared with several others). Description The spiders in the genus can grow to have a leg span of . Their body length ranges from . While some other araneomorph spiders have a longer leg span, the largest ''Phoneutria'' species have the longest body and the greatest body weight in this group. The genus is distinguished from other related genera such as '' Ctenus'' by the presence of dense prolateral scopulae (a dense brush of fine hairs) on the pedipalp tibiae and tarsi in both sexes. ''Phoneutria'' are easily confused with several other non-medically significant ctenids, especially ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
