Chorizopes is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1871.[1] Though it belongs to the orb weaver family, these spiders move through leaf litter preying on other spiders rather than spinning webs.[2] The original name was "Chorizoopes", but the emendation Chorizopes by Tamerlan Thorell is now protected by usage.[3]
