Abstract

The hunting spider genus Arachosia O.P. Cambridge 1882 (Araneae: Anyphaenidae) is represented in the United States by one species, A. cubana (Banks 1909; Fig. 1), which formerly resided in the genus Oxysoma Nicolet 1849 (Ramirez 2003). The fifteen other species in the genus occur in Central and South America (Platnick 2007). A. cubana was originally described by Banks (1909) from specimens collected in Cuba. In the United States, it has been reported from Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Massachusetts (Platnick 1974), Pennsylvania (NatureServe 2006), Virginia (Young and Edwards 1990), Illinois, Ohio and Michigan (Sierwald et al. 2005). Field work by the author in northeastern Kansas has uncovered the presence of A. cubana in Douglas County.
