Genus of spiders From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chthonos is a genus of South American ray spiders that was created by Jonathan A. Coddington in 1986 because the previous name was preoccupied.[2] Originally placed with the Orb-weaver_spiders under the name Tecmessa,[3] it was transferred to the ray spiders in 1986.[2]
