Description
''Xysticus'' and ''
Coriarachne'' are dark brown or reddish-brown crab spiders often encountered on weeds or trees. While similar to the 'flower spiders', they tend to have shorter, sturdier legs. Many, but not all, species have abdomens more patterned than most ''Thomisus'' species, rather like some of the ''Synema'' species. Some however, that are more terrestrial, resemble earth in colour and texture.

Most species of the genus Xysticus are small to medium sized spiders. They show a sexual dimorphism in size. Females of typical species reach a maximum of of body length, while their males are about long, about half the size of the females.
The basic colour of these species is usually brown, beige or gray. The
prosoma
The cephalothorax, also called prosoma in some groups, is a tagma of various arthropods, comprising the head and the thorax fused together, as distinct from the abdomen behind. (The terms ''prosoma'' and ''opisthosoma'' are equivalent to ''cepha ...

The species are often very similar to each other, and in most cases can be distinguished only by a microscopic examination of the reproductive organs.
Behaviour
The spiders of the genus ''Xysticus'' do not build webs; like most Thomisidae they are ambush hunters and prefer to hunt near the ground (hence the common name "ground crab spiders"). They move slowly, and commonly hunt by stationing themselves in a high-traffic area and grabbing whatever
