Artoria
Artoria is a genus of spiders in the family Lycosidae. It was first described in 1877 by Tamerlan Thorell, and the type species is Artoria parvula. In 1960, Roewer erected the genera Artoriella and Trabeola. However, in 2002, Volker Framenau reviewed Artoria and synonymised both these genera with Artoria.
Distribution
Species of this genus are widespread throughout south-east Asia and found in all states and territories of Australia.
Description
Artoria are small to medium-sized wolf spiders with a total length of approximately 3 to 10 mm, with males slightly smaller than females. The carapace is brown to black with a darker radial pattern, and light median and lateral bands are sometimes present.
The abdomen is brown to dark grey, often with a mottled pattern and mostly with a light lanceolate heart mark. The carapace is longer than wide with a straight dorsal profile in lateral view.The head flanks in frontal view are steep in most males but may have a gentle slope in females.
Chelicerae bear three promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. The labium is as long as or slightly longer than wide.
Taxonomy
Framenau regarded the three African species as incertae sedis.
