false violin spiders
Drymusidae
Drymusa is a genus of spiders placed in its own family Drymusidae. They are also called false violin spiders or leaf-litter spiders. They resemble violin spiders (genus Loxosceles, Sicariidae), but other than these build a web. Also unlike Loxosceles, which are highly venomous to man, spiders in Drymusidae are not believed to be harmful to humans.
