Scopoides
Scopoides is a genus of ground spiders (family Gnaphosidae) established by Norman I. Platnick in 1989. The genus is native to North America, specifically Mexico and the United States. A 2023 taxonomic revision removed all Chinese species from Scopoides; these were reassigned to the newly described genus Platnickus and to Allozelotes. As of October 2025, the genus contains twelve species.
