Kut
is a
genus
of Middle Eastern
woodlouse hunting spiders
. The type species was first described by
Paolo Brignoli
from a male found in
Turkey
, and it was placed with
Harpactocrates
.
[2]
In a 1988 study,
Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold
expressed doubt of the holotype's placement,
[3]
but it wasn't transferred to its own genus until 2019.
[1]
Two other species were identified, all with the same distinctive
pedipalp
features, including a pear-shaped tegulum with an otherwise featureless embolus.
[4]
As of April 2022
[update]
it contains only three species:
K. dimensis
,
K. izmiricus
, and
K. troglophilus
.
