Oxyopes lineatus is a species of spider in the family Oxyopidae the so-called lynx spiders. Two sub-species are recognised namely O. lineatus lineatus (Latreille 1806) and O. lineatus occidentalis (Kulczynski 1907). They are ambush hunting spiders and do not trap their prey in webs but subdue their victims with their venomous fangs (chelicerae). They are harmless to humans and larger animals and are not aggressive.
