Phrurotimpus

Phrurotimpus is a genus of araneomorph spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie in 1935.[2] The name is a compound adjective meaning "guarding the stone".[3] Originally added to the Liocranidae,[2] it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2002,[4] then to the Phrurolithidae in 2014.[5] They have red egg sacs that look like flattened discs, often found on the underside of stones.[6]
