Most spiders of this genus live in the continent America, South-Africa and South-Australia. Only one species occurs in NW-Europe. The spider is distinctively marked and resembles a wolf spider.
The spider lives between the leaves of trees and bushes. The females attach their egg sac to a curled leaf and remains on guard in a flimsy silk cell.
The spider's size varies between 4 and 8 mm.
The male spiders drums with its abdomen on a leaf to attract the female spider.
This makes a buzzing sound, there fore its name "buzzing spider".
