Drymusa is a genus of spiders placed in its own family Drymusidae.[1] They are also called false violin spiders or leaf-litter spiders. They resemble violin spiders (genus Loxosceles, Sicariidae), but other than these build a web.[2] Also unlike Loxosceles, which are highly venomous to man, spiders in Drymusidae are not believed to be harmful to humans.
They are grouped within the Scytodoidea superfamily together with the Periegopidae, Scytodidae and Sicariidae.
