Kut is a genus of Middle Eastern woodlouse hunting spiders. The type species was first described by Paolo Brignoli from a male found in Turkey, and it was placed with Harpactocrates.[2] In a 1988 study, Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold expressed doubt of the holotype's placement,[3] but it wasn't transferred to its own genus until 2019.[1] Two other species were identified, all with the same distinctive pedipalp features, including a pear-shaped tegulum with an otherwise featureless embolus.[4] As of April 2022[update] it contains only three species: K. dimensis, K. izmiricus, and K. troglophilus.[1]
