Ancylometes bogotensis

[Steven]

small update on my Ancylometes bogotensis slings/juvies


freshly molted,...
markings on carapax are fading while the leg-markings are coming.

this one is a molt behind,... but also has grown quite a bit !

and a view on their enclosures for now on,... planning on getting them an aqua-terra if they reached the 4" mark.
arrows indicate the entrance to an underwater-tunnel-kinda thingy

Hi, Steven
Good pictures as usual!
Have you ever breed this true spider?

no,.. not yet,... hoping for the future

What family of spiders are these? They look like both lycosids and pisaurids, and the underwater nest points to fishing spiders, but they all belong to genus Dolomedes...

they belong to the fam. Ctenidae (Cupiennius, Phoneutria, etc... )

Hi,

the genus Ancylometes reinstated by Silva in 2003 from Pisauridae to Ctenidae.
Greetings,

Thanx! I'm always interested in the different hunting spider genus........ Nice spider. I wish I had one. What's their range?
