The Phinda button spider is a type of button, or widow, spider. It was formally described as a new species in 2019. It lives only in sand forests in northern Zululand, in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province, and is believed to be the largest member of its genus.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera

  • Females have red markings on both the top and underside of the abdomen, which no other African Latrodectus species has.1
  • Males have white markings on the underside of the abdomen, which darken with age.1
  • Egg sacs are large and smooth, bright purple when freshly laid, fading to shiny grey as they dry.1
  • Webs are not usually found outside the tree hollow. When present, they are typical hackle webs spreading out from the hollow.1

Kitera okutabulwa ne: Other African button spiders do not have the red markings on both the top and underside of the female abdomen, which is the main feature that sets this species apart.1
