Trechaleidae trechalea sp

Trechalea is a genus of spider in the family Trechaleidae, found in the United States to Peru and Brazil.

Taxonomy

The genus was first created by Carl L. Koch in 1848, and given the name Triclaria. However, this name was already in use for a genus of parrots, and in 1869, Tord T.T. Thorell proposed the replacement name Trechalea. The name is derived from the Greek τρηχαλέος, meaning "rough" or "savage".
