Phrynus

Like other species of the order Amblypygi, species of the genus Phrynus are dorso-ventrally flattened arachnids with elongate, antenniform front legs used to navigate their environment and communicate with conspecifics. Individuals capture prey using raptorial pedipalps. Phrynus species vary in size, from the small Phrynus marginemaculatus to the larger Phrynus longipes. At least one species of Phrynus is territorial and cannibalistic (Phrynus longipes). Phrynus is a New World genus, found from the southern United States to northern South America; the sole known exception is Phrynus exsul from Indonesia. == List of species ==
