The western parson spider (Herpyllus propinquus) is identified by the white stripe along their abdomen. They are identical to the Eastern parson Spider. They can generally be differentiated by a closeup view of their genitalia. If that wasn't confusing enough, their territory even crosses over with their eastern counterpart.

The eastern parson spider (Herpyllus ecclesiasticus) is named after the markings on their abdomen resembling the neckties worn by clergymen in the 18th century. Their bite can be painful, but it is not considered fatal unless one has an allergic reaction to it.

Yellow-legged zipper spider is distinguished by its penchant for deceiving prey. Intriguingly, yellow-legged zipper spider uses vibrations to mimic fallen insects, luring unsuspecting victims into its web. Once caught, the spiders inject a slow-acting venom that eventually immobilizes the prey, allowing yellow-legged zipper spider to feed at its leisure. Yellow-legged zipper spider males also display captivating courtship rituals, subtly altering web tension to signal their intentions to females.

Characterized by a quintessential adaptation, stone ground-spider builds no web, favoring a more tactical approach. Actively nocturnal, it patiently hones in on prey, trusting its acute sensory adaptations. Remarkably, it evolves the strategy of excavating shallow retreats in the soil, using the excavated earth as a tell-tale sign of intruders. This fusion of brute strength and cunning survival tactics symbolizes the evolutionary resilience encompassed by stone ground-spider.

The flattened bark spider (Hemicloea rogenhoferi) lives up to its name by having a color similar to that of bark. Because of this, they are able to climb up trees, hide under bark, and wait for their prey to approach. The flat body is particularly useful for squeezing into tight places under the tree, so it has a deceptive size.
