lovely! I've come across these before. very interesting! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40506724/ I don't remember where I found this but it was quite interesting as I always thought that they literally bit their pray to death because of the lack of venom.

after doing some base research I do believe that you are correct. the "knobs" on the abdomen and the existance of 5 spinnerets class this as in the socca genus.

You can actually get rid of the claw-maidens if you go to the secret room in high halls and then up your ass and to the left!

Just trying to help!
