Wadicosa is a genus of wolf spiders, with 19 described species found from the Canary Islands to Indonesia.
==Etymology== The genus name Wadicosa is derived from the Arabic word واد "wadi" (meaning a dry riverbed or seasonal watercourse in arid regions) combined with the suffix "-cosa" commonly used in wolf spider genera (which are variations of Lycosa, from Greek λύκος "wolf"). This name reflects the characteristic habitat preference of these spiders for dried-up riverbeds with clay deposits in desert and semi-desert regions.
