Taraire Rufolineata
''Taraire'' is a small genus of Polynesian long-jawed orb-weavers. The genus was first described by A. Álvarez-Padilla, R. J. Kallal and Gustavo Hormiga in 2020, and it has only been found in New Zealand. They build vertical orb webs near forest floors, and can be found resting in the center. The genus name is a reference to Beilschmiedia tarairi, the native New Zealand tree that they are commonly found in. it contains only two species: '' T. oculta'' and '' T. rufolineata'', one newly described and one transferred from ''Meta''. Though they are closely related to species of '' Tawhai'', their exact relation to other genera in the family is still unclear due to inconclusive phylogenetic analyses. See also * '' Linyphia'' * ''Meta Meta (from the Greek μετά, '' meta'', meaning "after" or "beyond") is a prefix meaning "more comprehensive" or "transcending".

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Long-jawed Orb Weaver
Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) are a family of Araneomorphae, araneomorph spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. They have elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae, and build small orb webs with an open hub with few, wide-set radii and spirals with no signal line or retreat. Some species are often found in long vegetation near water. Systematics , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following extant genera: *''Alcimosphenus'' Simon, 1895 — Caribbean *''Allende_(spider), Allende'' Álvarez-Padilla, 2007 — Chile, Argentina *''Antillognatha'' Bryant, 1945 — Hispaniola *''Atelidea'' Simon, 1895 — Sri Lanka *''Azilia'' Keyserling, 1881 — United States, Panama, South America, Caribbean *''Chrysometa'' Simon, 1894 — South America, Central America, Mexico, Caribbean *''Cyrtognatha'' Keyserling, 1881 — South America, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico *''Dianleucauge'' Song & Zhu, 1994 — China *''Diphya'' Nicolet, 1849 — Asia, Sou ...

New Zealand
New Zealand ( mi, Aotearoa ) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island () and the South Island ()—and over 700 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island country by area, covering . New Zealand is about east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps, owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland. The islands of New Zealand were the last large habitable land to be settled by humans. Between about 1280 and 1350, Polynesians began to settle in the islands and then developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight and record New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the United Kingdom and Māori chiefs ...

Beilschmiedia Tarairi
''Beilschmiedia tarairi'', commonly called taraire, is a tree of the family Lauraceae, endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. It is a common canopy tree in lowland forests north of Auckland, often growing in association with kauri (''Agathis australis''), pōhutukawa (''Metrosideros excelsa''), tawāpou ('' Pouteria costata''), and pūriri (''Vitex lucens'') on basalt rocks and soils. ''Beilschmiedia'' is a genus of about 40 mainly tropical trees and shrubs with alternate to opposite leaves. Distribution Taraire only occurs in the North Island north of 38°S latitude. It is most common north of Auckland and Thames at about 37°S. However, scattered populations of the tree occur on the west coast between Port Waikato and the Kawhia Harbour, and inland at Pukemokemoke. On the east, it occurs in scattered locations to East Cape. Description Taraire grows up to 22 m in height, and has a very wide crown. The trunk may be up to 1 m in diameter. The bark is dark brown and smoo ...
