plectreurys tristis

  1. Plectreurys tristis Male

    Plectreurys tristis Male

    Male P tristis have setae 'spurs' on their first pair of legs that function like those of Mygalomorphae- claspers during mating. Unlike females, which are docile and play dead when touched, males extremely defensive and will deliver a full envenomation in their bite- which is extremely painful.

    Plectreurys tristis- Morose Primitive Hunting Spider

    Despite its superficial resemblance to kukulcania, these are very close to Pholcidae and along with Desertshrub spiders make up the Lost tracheae clade (Pholcoidea). Venom in this species is quite strong, and painful with an intense numbing effect. fortunately, females are docile with small fangs.
