Spider-hunting Orb-web Spiders
Chorizopes
Chorizopes is a genus of orb-weaver spiders that was erected by O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1871. Though it belongs to the orb weaver family, these spiders move through leaf litter preying on other spiders rather than spinning webs. The original name was "Chorizoopes", but the emendation Chorizopes by Tamerlan Thorell is now protected by usage.
