Misumenoides is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. Spiders in this family are commonly called crab or flower spiders.The female M. formosipes while similar to the common goldenrod spider (Misumena vatia) is not as large and can be distinguished by the inverted ‘V’ marking on its back (with the point of the V closer to the cephalothorax) and the ‘mask’ over its eyes.
