Gnolus
Genus of spiders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gnolus is a genus of South American orb-weaver spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1879.[2] Originally placed with the orb-weaving spiders, it was transferred to the pirate spiders in 1993,[3] but moved back to orb-weaver family in 2012.[4]
