Género tipo:
Lycosa Latreille, 1804
Diagnosis:
Small to very large araneomorph
spiders; three tarsal claws; ecribellate; entelegyne; eyes in three
rows (4:2:2); male palp almost always without retrolateral tibial
apophysis; female carries egg-sac attached to spinnerets.
Caracteres descriptivos:
Caparazón:
longer than wide, narrower and higher in cephalic region; fovea
elongated; carapace covered with dense setae. Esternón:
oval, to scutiform. Ojos: eight; in three rows (4:2:2); all
dark in colour; unequal in size; anterior row with four small eyes;
second row with two large eyes and third row with two eyes of
intermediate size situated on anterolateral surface of carapace;
secondary eyes with grate-shaped tapetum. Quelíceros: strong,
with toothed cheliceral furrow; condyle prominent. Piezas bucales:
labium as wide as long, half the lengh of endites. Patas:
three claws; legs usually with scopula and spines; trochanters
notched. Abdomen: oval; covered with dense setae. Hileras:
six; colulus absent; in females with a pair of major ampullate gland
spigots and a pair of minor ampullate gland spigots on resp.
anterior lateral and posterior median spinnerets; the secondary
spigots are retained in connection with the attachment of the egg
cocoon. Sistema respiratorio:
two booklungs; one pair of tubular trachea; tracheal spiracle close
to spinnerets. Genitalia: entelegyne; epigyne with
well-sclerotized median septum, often in the shape of an inverted T;
male; palp without tibial apophyses (except Allocosa
tuberculipalpa, with large retrolateral tibial apophysis);
embolus variable in size and insertion. Tamaño corporal:
3-45 mm. Hogna ingeus (Blackwall, 1857) is one of the largest
Araneomorphae. Color: cryptic, ranging from dull yellowish
brown to grey or almost black with broad band over cephalothorax;
dorsum usually with pattern.
Estatus taxonómico:
The lycosids form part of the superfamily Lycosoidea based on the
specialized structure of the tapetum of the lateral and posterior
eyes (Coddington & Levi, 1991; Coddington et al., 2004). Griswold
(1993) discussed the phylogenetic arrangement of the Lycosoidea and
found the Lycosidae to be sister to Trechaleidae with which they
form the sister-group of the Pisauridae. The limits of subfamilies
and genera within the lycosids are far from clear (Alderweireldt,
1991; Vink et al., 2002).
Distribución: mundial.

Estilo de vida: Most
lycosids are free-living ground-dwelling hunters and are supposed to
have coevolved with grasslands. Some live in burrow or make sheet
webs provided with a funnel. Egg cocoons are carried, attached to
the spinnerets, and spiderlings spend the first days or weeks of
their existence on the abdomen of the mother.
