Cheiramiona akermani (Lawrence, 1942) |
Cheiramiona akermani is a species of spider in the family Cheiracanthiidae. [1] It is a KwaZulu-Natal endemic originally described from Pietermaritzburg. [2]
The species is found at elevations from 416-623 m above sea level. [2]
This species is a free-living plant dweller that constructs silk retreats in rolled-up leaves. It has been sampled from the Savanna Biome. [2]
The species is listed as Data Deficient because more sampling is needed to collect females and determine its full range. It is protected in Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve. [2]
