Uliodon
''Uliodon'' is a genus of spiders endemic to New Zealand and possibly Australia. They are commonly referred to as vagrant spiders. Vagrant spiders vary in colour from dark brown to almost black, they typically have a body length of 20mm and a 50mm leg span. When alive, the interior of the male's pedipalp are brightly coloured (usually orange). They are nocturnal hunters, feeding on ground-dwelling invertebrates. During the day they are found under logs and rocks. They can be found in a variety of habitats: native forest and plantations, or more open habitat, but also scree slopes and occasionally in houses. Reproduction After mating, the female prepares a chamber lined with silk beneath a log or stone on the forest floor, or inside a rotten log, where they construct a rather large and round egg sac that they guard until the young hatch and disperse. The genus is apparently widespread throughout the country. Taxonomy , three or possibly four species of ''Uliodon'' are accep ...

Zorodictyna Oswaldi
''Zorodictyna oswaldi'' is a species of spider in the family Udubidae, found in Madagascar. It was first described in 1891 by Heinrich Lenz as ''Agroeca oswaldi''. The species name honours Albert O'Swald whose collection had been given to Lenz; the name was originally written ''o'swaldi''. In 1908 Embrik Strand placed it in the genus ''Uliodon''; in 1967 Pekka T. Lehtinen transferred it to ''Zorodictyna''. The cephalothorax The cephalothorax, also called prosoma in some groups, is a tagma of various arthropods, comprising the head and the thorax fused together, as distinct from the abdomen behind. (The terms ''prosoma'' and ''opisthosoma'' are equivalent to ''cepha ... is reddish brown, without any particular markings; the legs are similarly coloured. It is rounded in shape, somewhat truncated at the front with the head slightly offset. The upper side of the oval abdomen is pale gray, hairy, with dark longitudinal lines and interlocking irregular patches. Males have a body a ...

Spiders Of New Zealand
New Zealand has 1157 described spider species, with an estimated total fauna of 2000 species. Over 97 per cent are endemic, and the rest have been introduced through human activities or were natural wind-borne introductions. The New Zealand spider with the largest leg span is the Nelson cave spider (''Spelungula cavernicola''), with a leg span of up to and a body length. The Australian white-tailed spider, first recorded in New Zealand in 1886, has been falsely attributed as the cause of many necrotising spider bites. The flat huntsman spider (''Delena cancerides''), also from Australia, and called the Avondale spider in New Zealand, was accidentally introduced in the early 1920s, possibly in shipments of hardwood logs used for railway sleepers.Rowell and Avilés (1995).

Zoropsidae
Zoropsidae, also known as false wolf spiders for their physical similarity to wolf spiders, is a family of cribellate araneomorph spiders first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1882. They can be distinguished from wolf spiders by their two rows of eyes that are more equal in size than those of Lycosidae. The families Tengellidae and Zorocratidae are now included in Zoropsidae. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: *'' Akamasia'' Bosselaers, 2002 – Cyprus *''Anachemmis'' Chamberlin, 1919 – United States, Mexico *''Austrotengella'' Raven, 2012 – Australia *''Birrana'' Raven & Stumkat, 2005 – Australia *'' Cauquenia'' Piacentini, Ramírez & Silva, 2013 *'' Chinja'' Polotow & Griswold, 2018 – Tanzania *''Ciniflella'' Mello-Leitão, 1921 – Brazil *''Devendra'' Lehtinen, 1967 – Sri Lanka *''Griswoldia'' Dippenaar-Schoeman & Jocqué, 1997 – South Africa *'' Hoedillus'' Simon, 1898 – Guatemala, Nicaragua *'' Huntia'' Gray & Thompson, 2001 – Au ...

World Spider Catalog
The World Spider Catalog (WSC) is an online searchable database concerned with spider taxonomy. It aims to list all accepted families, genera and species, as well as provide access to the related taxonomic literature. The WSC began as a series of individual web pages in 2000, created by Norman I. Platnick of the American Museum of Natural History. After Platnick's retirement in 2014, the Natural History Museum of Bern (Switzerland) took over the catalog, converting it to a relational database. , 50,151 accepted species were listed. The order Araneae Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species dive ... (spiders) has the seventh-most species of all orders. The existence of the World Spider Catalog makes spiders the largest taxon with an online listing that is updated regularly. It ha ...

Ludwig Carl Christian Koch
Ludwig Carl Christian Koch (8 November 1825 – 1 November 1908) was a German entomologist and arachnologist. He was born in Regensburg, Germany, and died in Nuremberg, Germany. He studied in Nuremberg, initially law, but then turned to medicine and science. From 1850, he practiced as a physician in the Wöhrd district of Nuremberg. He is considered among the four most influential scientists on insects and spiders in the second half of the 19th century. He wrote numerous works on the arachinoids of Europe, Siberia, and Australia. His work earned him worldwide reputation as "Spider Koch". Sometimes confused with his father Carl Ludwig Koch (1778–1857), another famous arachnologist, his name is abbreviated L.Koch on species descriptions; his father's name is abbreviated C.L.Koch Pierre Bonnet. ''Bibliographia araneorum,'' (1945) Les frères Doularoude (Toulouse). Works ''Die Arachniden Australiens'' (1871-1883), his major work on Australian spiders, was completed by Eugen ...
