The carapace and legs are black and shiny. Western Australian species of the family Migidae remained undiscovered until 1990 and were first described and named in the genus ''Moggridgea'' by Dr Barbara Main in 1991. ''B. tingle'' was discovered by accident in a laboratory analysis of another arachnid and the bark in which it was living, the spider was noticed when it emerged as the sample was discarded. The specific epithet is derived from the common name "tingle", the tree from which the bark was taken. It was moved to the new genus ''Bertmainius'' by Mark Harvey and colleagues in 2015, based on significant differences i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
