Tidarren ubickorum is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae. [1] It is found in Zimbabwe and South Africa. [2]
Tidarren ubickorum is found in Zimbabwe and South Africa. [1] In South Africa it is known from Mpumalanga at Songimvelo Nature Reserve. [2]
In South Africa, it has been sampled from vegetation in the Grassland biome and also from suburban gardens at 1109 m altitude. [2]
Tidarren ubickorum is the only Tidarren species from mainland Africa hitherto known which has a rounded abdomen. Its epigynal protuberance is slender in side view and rather small. The male is unknown. [3]
Tidarren ubickorum is listed as Data Deficient for taxonomic reasons by the South African National Biodiversity Institute. The species is known from only one locality in South Africa with a very small range. More sampling is needed to collect the male and determine the species range. [2]
The species is named after US arachnologist Darrell Ubick.
Tidarren ubickorum was described by Knoflach & Van Harten in 2006 from Songimvelo Nature Reserve in Mpumalanga. The species is known only from the female. [3]
