Venoms of Ctenidae

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter deals only with the spider Phoneutria nigriventer (Keyserling, 1891) and its venom. Also known in Brazil as “aranha armadeira” (spider that assumes an armed display), and wandering or banana spider, it is the most important species of the genus Phoneutria (Perty, 1833), and its very toxic venom is the best studied amongst other species from the Ctenidae family.
