Tinus
nursery web spider
Tinus is a genus of nursery web spiders in the family Pisauridae, established by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1901. The genus includes small-bodied species that are notably smaller than most other pisaurid genera such as Dolomedes and Pisaurina. Tinus peregrinus is the best-documented species, known from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Members of this genus prefer vertical surfaces and are often found near water edges.
