| Description |
Indoxysticus minutus, Family: Thomisidae Body length 5mm, Indian crab spider on Indian borage (Plectranthus amboinicus) plant. ID Source: researchgate net Thomisidae is a family of spiders, including about 175 genera and over 2,100 species. The common name crab spider is often applied to species in this family, but is also applied loosely to many other species of spiders. Among the Thomisidae, "crab spider" refers most often to the familiar species of "flower crab spiders", though not all members of the family are limited to ambush hunting in flowers. Thomisidae do not build webs to trap prey, though all of them produce silk for drop lines and sundry reproductive purposes; some are wandering hunters and the most widely known are ambush predators ___________________________________ Indoxysticus is a small genus of crab spiders, native to Asia. The genus differs from other thomisids by the oval-shaped spermathecae with well-defined chambers in the female, and by the male's broad-based embolus, i.e. the terminal portion of the palpal organ. They live in vegetation as opposed to related genus Xysticus, which lives on the ground. Indoxysticus genera is small with only 3 species: Indoxysticus lumbricus Tang & Li, 2010 — China Indoxysticus minutus (Tikader, 1960) — India, Srilanka Indoxysticus tangi Jin & Zhang, 2012 — China Indoxysticus lumbricus resembles Indoxysticus minutus but is a much larger species. |
