Karaops
Karaops is the only genus of Wall Crab Spider) in Australia and can therefore be identified by the eye pattern that is also charactistic for the family, i.e. a single recurved row of six eyes with the fourth pair situated behind.
More than three dozen species of Karaops are described from Australia, but the undocumented diversity is much higher. Species identification generally requires the examination of male and female genitalia.
