Sicariidae is a family of six-eyed venomous spiders known for their potentially necrotic bites. The family consists of three genera and about 180 species. Well known spiders in this family include the brown recluse spider and the six-eyed sand spider.
==Description== Loxosceles, commonly known as "recluse spiders" or "violin spiders", are distributed nearly worldwide in warmer areas. Hexophthalma (sand spiders) and Sicarius (assassin or sand spiders) live in the deserts of southern Africa and South to Central America, respectively. They are known for their self-burying behavior and the ability to go long periods without food or water.
