From the article: "Members of both genera can live for very long times without food or water." Only one genus (Loxosceles) has been mentioned; the classification box only names one genus (Loxosceles); the opening sentence specifies that recluse spiders are from the genus Loxosceles - the whole article is about the Loxosceles genus. What is the other genus?

Also, are there any references for the effects of this spider's bite?

I think the other genus would be Sicarius, the only one other genus of the same family, Sicariidae. But I don't know whether spiders of this other genus are also known as recluse spiders -- Extremophile ( talk) 01:57, 19 July 2008 (UTC) reply
