From the article: "Members of both genera can live for very long times without food or water." Only one genus (Loxosceles) has been mentioned; the classification box only names one genus (Loxosceles); the opening sentence specifies that recluse spiders are from the genus Loxosceles - the whole article is about the Loxosceles genus. What is the other genus?

Also, are there any references for the effects of this spider's bite?
