Diversity
12 species

Artoriopsis is a genus of wolf spiders first described by Volker W. Framenau in 2007.[1] It is endemic to Australia and is most diverse in the southern half of the continent, though A. anacardium is found in the tropical north of Australia. Its body size ranges from 3 to 11 mm (1⁄8 to 7⁄16 in), with males smaller than females. It appears to prefer open, vegetated or sandy areas of moderate humidity.[1]
