Thelcticopis

Thelcticopis is a genus of huntsman spiders that occurs almost exclusively in the Australasian region, from India to Japan to New Guinea and Fiji. However, one species (T. pestai) occurs in Costa Rica, and another (T. humilithorax) in Congo basin, although the latter species is probably misplaced in this genus.
