Oxyopes
''Oxyopes'' is a genus of lynx spiders found worldwide. It includes arounds 300 species and is classified under the lynx spider family Oxyopidae. Like other lynx spiders, they are easily recognizable by the six larger eyes arranged hexagonally on top of the head (prosoma), with the remaining smaller two eyes in front. They are also characterized by long spine-like bristles (setae) on their legs. They are ambush predators, actively hunting prey by sight. Though they produce and use silk, they do not build webs to capture prey. The genus was first established in 1804 by the French zoologist Pierre André Latreille. The generic name means "keen-eyed", from Ancient Greek ὀξύς (''oxús'', "sharp") and ὤψ (''ṓps'', "eye"). Species Species classified under ''Oxyopes'' (including subspecies) and their distribution ranges are the following: * '' Oxyopes abebae'' Strand, 1906 — Ethiopia, East Africa * '' Oxyopes acleistus'' Chamberlin, 1929 — USA, Mexico * ...

Oxyopes Heterophthalmus
''Oxyopes heterophthalmus'' is a lynx spider from the family Oxyopidae, it is the type species of the genus '' Oxyopes'' and was described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, it has a Palearctic distribution. Description The palps of the male have a dorsally directed patellar apophysis, which is nearly as long as male's palpal tibia. The epigyne has a reddish-brown median part, and is broadly rounded anteriorly. The body colour is dark brown, with a whitish pattern on the dorsum. The legs are black, with bright hairs and strikingly robust spines. Both sexes are in length. Their abdomen is roughly triangular in shape and ends in a point. Biology ''Oxyopes heterophthalmus'' is a long legged, diurnal hunting spider which is capable of running very fast and jumping on their prey in a similar fashion to a cat, leading to their common name of lynx spider. They do not utilise webs to catch prey. Their eyesight is not as good as that of the jumping spiders but they can see their pre ...

Oxyopes Lineatus
''Oxyopes lineatus'' is a species of spider in the family Oxyopidae, the so-called lynx spiders. They are ambush hunting spiders and do not trap their prey in webs, but subdue their victims with their venomous fangs (chelicerae). They are harmless to humans and larger animals and are not aggressive. Description The body colour of ''Oxyopes lineatus'' is yellowish to light-brown with a pattern of white markings. Like most spiders the species is sexually dimorphic, the males being distinctly smaller than the females. The body length of the adult male is about 4–5 mm, while that of the female is 6–8 mm. They have eight eyes in total, a pair of two large eyes in front and below them a smaller pair. One pair of medium-sized eyes are high up on the side of the head and another pair of large eyes looks above and backward. This combination of eyes gives these spiders an almost 360o view. As in the Oxyopidae in general, there are long spines on their legs in a basket-like ar ...

Lynx Spider
Lynx spider (Oxyopidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1870. Most species make little use of webs, instead spending their lives as hunting spiders on plants. Many species frequent flowers in particular, ambushing pollinators, much as crab spiders do. They tend to tolerate members of their own species more than most spiders do, and at least one species has been identified as exhibiting social behaviour. Description There are several genera of Oxyopidae and they differ in their habits and adaptations. Most of them have large spiny bristles on their legs and in many species the bristles form almost a basket-like structure that may assist in confining the prey that they grasp, and protect the spider from its struggles. Most ''Oxyopes'' and ''Hamataliwa'' species are small to medium in size. Lynx spiders, in spite of being largely ambush hunters, are very speedy runners and leapers, alert and with good vision. Oxyopidae in general rely on kee ...
