Liocranid sac spiders consist of about 170 species of wandering spiders in 30 or so genera. The best known are those in the Holarctic genus ''Agroeca''. Various genera of rather obscure spiders are included in the family, which still lacks a diagnosis. Two species in the North American genus ''Neoanagraphis'' are found in often hyperarid conditions in the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts. The females apparently live in animal burrows and the males wander and are often caught in pitfall traps. |
