Creugas bajulus
(Gertsch, 1942)
Creugas bajulus is a of true spider in the Corinnidae, first described by Gertsch in 1942. It is known from Mexico and has been reported in California, USA. The Creugas belongs to a group of ground-dwelling spiders commonly known as -mimics or ant-like spiders, though species-specific behavioral details for C. bajulus remain poorly documented.

Identification
As a member of Corinnidae, Creugas bajulus likely exhibits the -typical elongated body form and relatively long legs compared to some other ground spiders. However, specific diagnostic features distinguishing C. bajulus from and similar corinnids have not been summarized in readily accessible sources. Examination of genitalia ( in females, in males) is typically required for definitive identification in this .
Distribution
Mexico; United States (California). Distribution records are sparse, with most documented occurrences from Mexico and limited reports from California.
Similar Taxa

- Other Corinnidae genera (e.g., Castianeira, Corinna)These occupy similar and may resemble Creugas in general appearance; -level characters such as arrangement and structure help distinguish them, but -level identification demands expert analysis.
