78, see text Hersilia, also known as long-spinnereted bark spiders and two-tailed spiders, is a genus of tree trunk spiders that was first described by Jean Victoire Audouin in 1826.

[2] Their nicknames are a reference to their greatly enlarged spinnerets.

Males can grow up to 8 millimetres (0.31 in) long, and females can grow up to 10 millimetres (0.39 in).

They are found in Africa, Asia, and Australasia, on tree trunks, in gardens, or in jungle fringes.

[1] The revisions by Baehr & Baehr[3] and Rheims & Brescovit[4] revealed 26 species in southeast Asia.
