Oxyopes takobius is a species of spiders in the genus Oxyopes of the lynx spider family, Oxyopidae. The species was first described in 1969, and is found from Central Asia to China.[1] Its venom contains a peptide toxin called oxyopinin (oxyopinin 4a), which was discovered in 2002.[2]
This species has been misidentified in pharmacological research as "Oxyopes kitabensis."[3][4]
