Hexophthalma
''Hexophthalma'' is a genus of spiders in the family Sicariidae. Although the genus was originally erected in 1878 (then with the name ''Hexomma''), it was merged into the genus '' Sicarius'' in the 1890s, and remained unused until revived in 2017, when it was discovered that the African species then placed in ''Sicarius'' were distinct. The English name six-eyed sand spiders is used for members of the genus, particularly ''Hexophthalma hahni''. Species in the genus have necrotic (dermonecrotic) venom, and can potentially cause serious or even life-threatening wounds. Taxonomy The genus was first created in 1878 by Friedrich Karsch as ''Hexomma'', with the sole species '' Hexomma hahni''. By 1879, though, Karsch had realized that this name had already been used in 1877 for a species of harvestman, so he published the replacement name ''Hexophthalma''. In 1893, Eugène Simon transferred ''Hexophthalma hahni'' to the genus '' Sicarius'', and ''Hexophthalma'' fell out of use, until ...
