Spider ID

[NYAN]

I’m thinking Zorpisidae, but am not certain. It was found under a rock with a burrow in southeastern Arizona.

The eye arrangement doesn't look right for Zoropsidae. Was there a Zoropsid genus you were comparing to?

I'm still looking, but no leads yet. /r/spiders on reddit has a few arachnologists that are amazing with true spider IDs.

I searched Zoropsidae eyes on google actually.

I suppose the one that I found could’ve been something else.

The genus Zorposis hasn’t similar shape and eyes though.

To me, Zoropsis eyes have a more pronounced/larger pair of posterior medial eyes, and the posterior lateral eyes are further offset to the rear. Compare.

I'm certainly not sure, it could be a Zoropsid. For Zoropsis spinimana, I also thought they were only found in California as they've been introduced there. SE Arizona is some distance and I don't see any other members of the genus listed on bugguide.net.

That’s a good point that I totally forgot. They are a Mediterranean species.


I retract my guess in that case and still don’t know what it is.

What about Syspira? Another photo. One from @Smokehound714 in the true spider picture thread, page 32.

I was thinking Syspira as well

That looks much more like it. I actually skimmed that genus over when I was searching myself.
