Thelcticopis
Sign in to saveThelcticopis is a genus of huntsman spiders that occurs almost exclusively in the area India to Japan to New Guinea and Fiji. Two geographically outlying species, T. humilithorax (Simon, 1909) from Gabon (originally said as the "French Congo") and T. truculenta Karsch, 1884 from São Tomé and Príncipe are both probably misplaced in this genus.

Thelcticopis is a genus of huntsman spiders that occurs almost exclusively in the area India to Japan to New Guinea and Fiji. Two geographically outlying species, T. humilithorax (Simon, 1909) from Gabon (originally said as the "French Congo") and T. truculenta Karsch, 1884 from São Tomé and Príncipe are both probably misplaced in this genus.
Another species originally described from Costa Rica was suggested to belong to the genus by Jäger, 2005 as Thelcticopis pestai (Reimoser, 1939), but later revised as Decaphora pestai (Reimoser, 1939), by Rheims & Alayón, 2014.
