Arachnocoris is a small genus of true bugs found in the Neotropics, including French Guyana and West Indies (André Lopez).
It is often found living in the webs of the pholcid spider Mesabolivar aurantiacus (Mello-Leitão, 1930). It seems to prefer empty webs, possibly utilizing them as a ready-made prey-capture device, and possibly as a site for finding mates.
