Liocranoides

Liocranoides is a genus of American false wolf spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1881.[2] They live in habitats with cold surfaces, such as caves.[3] It was transferred from the sac spiders to the Tengellidae in 1967,[4] which was later merged with Zoropsidae.[5]
