Oltacloea

Oltacloea is a genus of South American ground spiders that was first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1940.[2] As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in Argentina and Brazil: O. beltraoae, O. mutilata, and O. ribaslangei.[1] Originally placed with the long-spinneret ground spiders, it was transferred to the ground spiders in 2018.[3]
