Taczanowskia is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1879.[2] Contrary to the common name of the group, spiders of the genus Taczanowskia do not build webs and are furtive hunters, deceiving their prey by producing sex pheromones that attract male moths, and catching their prey by using a pair of enlarged claws at the tip of their anterior legs.[3][4][5][6]
Species
(As of December 2021) it contains six species from South America and Mexico:[1]
- Taczanowskia gustavoi Ibarra-Núñez, 2013 – Mexico[7]
- Taczanowskia mirabilis Simon, 1897 – Bolivia, Brazil
- Taczanowskia onowoka Jordán, Domínguez-Trujillo, & Cisneros-Heredia, 2021 – Ecuador[8]
- Taczanowskia sextuberculata Keyserling, 1892 – Colombia, Brazil
- Taczanowskia striata Keyserling, 1879 (type) – Peru, Brazil, Argentina
- Taczanowskia trilobata Simon, 1897 – Brazil
