Ibintu by'ukuri
It is believed to be the largest member of the button spider genus, Latrodectus.1
Its discovery was the first new addition to the genus in 28 years. Before this, 31 button or widow spiders were known, eight of them from Africa.1
Females nest in tree hollows and stumps higher above the ground than most other members of the genus.1
It was first found in 2014 in Tembe Elephant Park, but was only confirmed as a new species in 2019, after live specimens were collected from Phinda reserve.1
One female kept in a laboratory lived for two years until her natural death, and her offspring were also studied.1
