Taraire Scenic Reserve
''Taraire'' is a small genus of Polynesian Long-jawed orb weaver, 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: ''Taraire oculta, T. oculta'' and ''Taraire rufolineata, T. rufolineata'', one newly described and one transferred from ''Meta_(spider), Meta''.
