This species has a orange to dark brown mottled carapace. The legs are pale yellow. The abdomen is grey dorsally with dark chevrons. Distribution This species is only known from Chatham Island, New Zealand.

	Alfred Frank Millidge Alfred Frank Millidge (1914 – 16 April 2012) was a British arachnologist who wrote several works on spiders. One of his best-known might be ''British Spiders'', volumes I and II, which he co-wrote with G. H. Locket. In 1983, he became the first person to describe the spider species ''Walckenaeria crocea ''Walckenaeria crocea'' is a spider species first described by A. F. Millidge in 1983.

	Linyphiidae Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers (from the shape of their webs), or money spiders (in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and in Portugal, from the superstition that if such a spider is seen running on you, it has come to spin you new clothes, meaning financial good fortune) is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution, new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is '' Himalafurca'' from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided. * Money spiders are known for drifting through the air via a technique termed “ ballooning”. * Within the agric ...

picture info	New Zealand Threat Classification System The New Zealand Threat Classification System is used by the Department of Conservation to assess conservation priorities of species in New Zealand. The system was developed because the IUCN Red List, a similar conservation status system, had some shortcomings for the unique requirements of conservation ranking in New Zealand. plants, animals, and fungi are evaluated, though the lattermost has yet to be published. Algae were assessed in 2005 but not reassessed since. Other protists have not been evaluated. Categories Species that are ranked are assigned categories: ;Threatened This category has three major divisions: ::Nationally Critical - equivalent to the IUCN category of Critically endangered ::Nationally Endangered - equivalent to the IUCN category of Endangered ::Nationally Vulnerable - equivalent to the IUCN category of Vulnerable ;At Risk This has four categories: ::Declining ::Recovering ::Relict ::Naturally Uncommon ;Other categories ;;Introduced and Natu ...

picture info	Endemic Spiders Of New Zealand Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example ''Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. ''Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
