Drymusa is a genus of false violin spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1892.[2] They physically resemble violin spiders (Loxosceles), but their bites are not believed to be medically significant.[3] Originally placed with the spitting spiders, it was moved to the Loxoscelidae (now a synonym for Sicariidae) in 1981,[4] then to the Drymusidae in 1986.[5]
