Rabidosa
Rabid Wolf Spiders, Dotted Wolf Spiders
Rabidosa is a genus of wolf spiders (family Lycosidae) established by Roewer in 1960. The genus contains five recognized species distributed in North America, with most species restricted to the United States. These are medium to large-sized, ground-dwelling spiders with characteristic patterning on the dorsal abdomen. Members of this genus have been subjects of behavioral research, particularly regarding mating systems and thermal ecology. Several species are known hosts for parasitic mantisfly larvae.
