Neosparassus

Neosparassus is a genus of huntsman spiders first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1903. Members of this genus most closely resemble those of Heteropoda, except that the cephalothorax is high, peaking between the midpoint and the eyes, before sloping toward the back. This angle causes the front of these spiders to appear more prominent than it actually is.[2]

gollark: Sure, I guess.
gollark: No, but it's nice to be able to refer to "Protagonism Street" and have there be no ambiguity.
gollark: ./warp choruscity
gollark: Which we probably do have right now, actually. There are something like... three cities. Cherryville is tiny, Chorus City uses weird names picked by me, and Switch City, well, has roads.
gollark: But I mean globally unique street names in Switchcraft.
