Drymusa

Drymusa is a genus of false violin spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1892.^[2] They physically resemble violin spiders (Loxosceles), but their bites are not believed to be medically significant.^[3] Originally placed with the spitting spiders, it was moved to the Loxoscelidae (now a synonym for Sicariidae) in 1981,^[4] then to the Drymusidae in 1986.^[5]
