''Arachnocoris'' is a small genus of true bugs found in the Neotropics. It is often found living in the webs of the pholcid spider ''Mesabolivar aurantiacus'' (Mello-Leitão, 1930).〔Sewlal & Starr 2008〕 It seems to prefer empty webs, possibly utilizing them as a ready-made prey-capture device, and possibly as a site for finding mates. Members of this genus are often found living in spider web, mostly those of the family Pholcidae. The body of ''Arachnocoris'' is adapted for life in spider webs, with white markings on dark ground, similar to the kleptoparasitic spider genus ''Argyrodes''.〔 ==Species== * ''Arachnocoris albomaculatus'' Scott, 1881 * ''Arachnocoris trinitatis'' Bergroth, 1914—Trinidad * ''Arachnocoris karukerae'' Lopez, 1990—French Antilles * ''Arachnocoris berytoides'' Say 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arachnocoris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
