Mimetus eutypus
pirate spider
Mimetus eutypus is a small araneomorph spider in the family Mimetidae, commonly known as pirate spiders or cannibal spiders. The species was described by Chamberlin & Ivie in 1935 and is known from the United States. Like other mimetids, it is an araneophagic predator that infiltrates the webs of other spiders rather than building its own. The species was formerly placed in the genus Reo.
