Spiny-legged Trapdoor Spiders
Cataxia Rainbow, 1914
Type species: Cataxia maculata Rainbow, 1914
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 3160
(after Rix et al. 2017): Species of Cataxia can be distinguished from all other Arbanitinae by the combined absence of scopulae on the anterior legs of females, the presence of a non-hirsute, glabrous carapace, and a relatively narrow carapace profile in dorsal view. Males of Cataxia are most similar to (and often sympatric with) species of Arbanitis, with which they share a rectangular eye group and usually also a distal retrolateral tibial apophysis on the male pedipalp. Male Cataxia can be distinguished from similar sympatric species of Arbanitis by the presence of a non-hirsute, glabrous carapace and the presence of scopulae on only the anterior leg tarsi.
