lycosid

Many Lycosid are found in dry and rocky situations and quite a number in open fields.

A Lycosid disappeared in the same way after being followed—at a run—for a hundred feet.

The famous tarantulas of southern Europe, whose bites were supposed to cause the dancing mania, were Lycosid, or wolf-spiders.

Of the Old World Lycosid there is no doubt that several species were implicated as the supposed cause of the tarantism.

We once saw a fuscipennis that was dragging a Lycosid attacked by a bigger wasp of the same species.
