"Both" genera?

Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

From the article: "Members of both genera can live for very long times without food or water." Only one genus (Loxosceles) has been mentioned; the classification box only names one genus (Loxosceles); the opening sentence specifies that recluse spiders are from the genus Loxosceles - the whole article is about the Loxosceles genus. What is the other genus?

Also, are there any references for the effects of this spider's bite?

I think the other genus would be Sicarius, the only one other genus of the same family, Sicariidae. But I don't know whether spiders of this other genus are also known as recluse spiders --Extremophile (talk) 01:57, 19 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Singelet 16:10, 16 March 2010 (SAST) What is the difference between this spider and the Brown Recluse Spider? Should these pages not be merged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.215.240.1 (talk) 14:10, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
