Ommatauxesis Explained
Ommatauxesis is a monotypic genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Toxopidae containing the single species, Ommatauxesis macrops. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1903,[1] and has only been found in Australia.[2] Originally placed with the Cybaeidae, it was moved to the intertidal spiders in 1967,[3] [4] and to the Toxopidae in 2017.[5]
