Psellocoptus
''Psellocoptus'' is a genus of South American running spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1896. When Eugène Simon discovered the first species (''P. flavostriatus''), he described it as a "beautiful and large species from the forests of Venezuela which sfound running rapidly on the trunks of trees". The species name ''flavostriatus'' means "striped yellow". ''P. buchlii'' is named after the late Harro Buchli, and the species name ''prodontus'' is from the Greek meaning "tooth in front". Two other species were found in 1971, and are very similar to the first, though the genus as a whole is quite distinct from any other in general form and characteristics. It probably became isolated from the more widespread genera '' Myrmecium'' and ''Castianeira''. While the similar genera ''Myrmecium'' and ''Sphecotypus'' also have an indented carapace A carapace is a Dorsum (biology), dorsal (upper) section of the exoskeleton or shell in a number of animal groups, including art ...

Two other species were found in 1971, and are very similar to the first, though the genus as a whole is quite distinct from any other in general form and characteristics. It probably became isolated from the more widespread genera ''Myrmecium (spider), Myrmecium'' and ''Castianeira''. While the similar genera ''Myrmecium'' and ''Sphecotypus'' also have an indented carapace, ''Psellocoptus'' has a rounded anterior end and a relatively unsegmented red-brown, s ...
