Colaranea verutum is a species of orb-weaver spider that is endemic to New Zealand. [1] [2]
Colaranea verutum was first described in 1887 by Arthur Urquhart as Epeira verutum, which had three subspecies, E.v. astatum, E.v. hastatum and E.v. lineola. [3]
Trite is a genus of jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. Most of the 18 described species occur in Australia and New Zealand, with several spread over islands of Oceania, one species even reaching Rapa in French Polynesia.
Periegops is a genus of spiders with six eyes instead of the usual eight. It is the only genus in its family (Periegopidae) and has three described species. It was long considered to be members of Sicariidae or Segestriidae until Raymond Forster elevated them to the family level in 1995.
Cyatholipidae is a family of spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894. Most live in moist montane forest, though several species, including Scharffia rossi, live in dry savannah regions. They occur in Africa, including Madagascar, New Zealand and Australia, and one species in Jamaica. Most members of this family hang beneath sheet webs. Fossil species occur in the Eocene aged Bitterfield and Baltic Ambers, suggesting a wider geographic distribution in the past.
Celaenia is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1868.
Porrhothele antipodiana, the black tunnelweb spider, is a spider found throughout much of New Zealand and the Chatham Islands in bush and gardens and is one of New Zealand's most researched spiders. It is related to tarantulas, and is a harmless relative of the venomous Australian funnel-web spider.
Cambridgea is a spider genus in the family Desidae and some of the first endemic spiders described from New Zealand. They are known for constructing large horizontal sheet webs measuring up to a square metre in larger species. Cambridgea were originally assigned to the Agelenidae by Dalmas in 1917 but were reassigned to the Stiphidiidae in 1973. Most recently, both Cambridgea and sister genus Nanocambridgea were reassigned to the Desidae, subfamily Porteriinae on the basis of molecular evidence.
Trite auricoma, commonly known as the golden-brown jumping spider, is a species of jumping spider endemic to New Zealand.
Anoteropsis is a genus of wolf spiders. All the species except one are found in New Zealand and its islands.
Tekella is a genus of South Pacific araneomorph spiders in the family Cyatholipidae, and was first described by A. T. Urquhart in 1894.
Acroaspis is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1878.
Colaranea is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court & Raymond Robert Forster in 1988 that are endemic to New Zealand.
Cryptaranea is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court & Raymond Robert Forster in 1988.
Novakiella is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders containing the single species, Novakiella trituberculosa that has only been found in Australia and New Zealand.
Zealaranea is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court & Raymond Robert Forster in 1988.
Haplinis is a genus of South Pacific dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894.
Toxopidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders, first described in 1940. For many years it was sunk into Desidae as a subfamily, although doubts were expressed as to whether this was correct. A large-scale molecular phylogenetic study in 2016 led to the family being revived.
Colaranea melanoviridis is a species of orb-weaver spider that is endemic to New Zealand.
Periegops suterii is a species of spider in the genus Periegops that is endemic to the South Island of New Zealand.
