Artoriopsis is a genus of wolf spiders first described by Volker W. Framenau in 2007. It is endemic to Australia and is most diverse in the southern half of the continent, though A. anacardium is found in the tropical north of Australia. Its body size ranges from 3 to 11 mm (1⁄8 to 7⁄16 in), with males smaller than females. It appears to prefer open, vegetated or sandy areas of moderate humidity.
