The Chilean recluse spider is a venomous spider Loxosceles laeta of the family Sicariidae (formerly of the family Loxoscelidae). In Spanish it (and other South American recluse spiders) is known as araña de rincón or corner spider; in Portuguese as aranha-marrom or brown spider. This spider is considered by many to be the most dangerous of the recluse spiders and its bite is known to frequently result in severe systemic reactions including death.
