Theridiidae Tekellina

"Tekellina" sp. "White Hairy"

White Hairy Comb-foot Spider

This species is recognised by the long white and black hairs on an almost spherical abdomen, and the tibiae I which are shorter than the carapace. Its inclusion in Tekellina is based on its similarities with the external morphology of some described Tekellina species, including eye arrangement. However this identification is provisional and can be confirmed only when its genitalia are examined.
