Mangora sandovalae is a species of orb-weaver spider that can be found in Southern Paraguay. [1]
Mangora sandovalae is most similar to the species M. caballero . The length of the holotype (a female) is 5.84 mm (0.23 in). [1]
The specific epithet "sandovalae" is a tribute to Mercedes Sandoval de Hempel, a lawyer and prominent feminist from Paraguay. [1]
Uloboridae is a family of non-venomous spiders, known as cribellate orb weavers or hackled orb weavers. Their lack of venom glands is a secondarily evolved trait. Instead, they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body.
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields, and forests. The English word "orb" can mean "circular", hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs.
The spider species Araneus diadematus is commonly called the European garden spider, cross orbweaver, diadem spider, orangie, cross spider, and crowned orb weaver. It is sometimes called the pumpkin spider, although this name is also used for a different species, Araneus marmoreus. It is an orb-weaver spider found in Europe, where it is native, and North America, where it was introduced.
Nephila is a genus of araneomorph spiders noted for the impressive webs they weave. Nephila consists of numerous species found in warmer regions around the world, although some species formerly included in the genus have been moved to Trichonephila. They are commonly called golden silk orb-weavers, golden orb-weavers, giant wood spiders, or banana spiders.
Aculepeira is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Wilton Ivie in 1942.
Micrathena, known as spiny orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Micrathena contains more than a hundred species, most of them Neotropical woodland-dwelling species. The name is derived from the Greek "micro", meaning "small", and the goddess Athena.
Kaira, sometimes called frilled orbweavers, is a mostly neotropical genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1889. It includes sixteen described species that occur from South America up to the southern and eastern USA. It is presumably related to Aculepeira, Amazonepeira and Metepeira.
Larinia is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1874.
Mangora is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1889.
Mangora gibberosa is a species of spider in the family Araneidae, found in North America. It is commonly misidentified as Cyclosa turbinata due to its similar appearance and orb-style webs.
Prasonica is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Prasonicella is a genus of East African orb-weaver spiders first described by M. Grasshoff in 1971. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Umbonata is a genus of Tanzanian orb-weaver spiders containing the single species, Umbonata spinosissima. It was first described by M. Grasshoff in 1971 to contain the single species moved from Mangora.
Mangora spiculata is a species of orb weaver in the family Araneidae. It is found in North America.
Mangora passiva is a species of orb weaver in the family Araneidae. It is found in a range from the USA to Nicaragua.
Mangora maculata, the greenlegged orbweaver, is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in the United States.
Paraverrucosa is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1939 to contain the type species, Paraverrucosa neglecta. Each of the four species have been moved around between Wagneriana, Edricus, and Verrucosa, but were all moved to this genus in 2020.
Araniella opisthographa is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae.
