Description
Discover the fascinating world of Periegopidae with our 'Fauna of New Zealand 70: Periegopidae' paperback. Authored by C Vink and published by Manaaki Whenua Press on 04-03-2014, this informative volume focuses on the rare Periegopid spiders found exclusively in New Zealand's limited relict forests. These unique spiders, part of the family Periegopidae, are distinguished by their six eyes grouped in three distinct diads, setting them apart from other eight-eyed New Zealand spiders.
Explore the habitats of these elusive creatures found in regions such as Banks Peninsula, Riccarton Bush, and East Cape. The book delves into the ecological niches where Periegopidae thrive, highlighting their preference for deep leaf litter and well-drained soil.
This essential guide not only describes both known species P. suterii and the newly identified member of the genus Periegops but also provides crucial insights into synonymy, geographical distribution, and more. Featured within are detailed habitus images, crucial morphological illustrations, and distribution maps to aid in the study and appreciation of these remarkable spiders. A molecular phylogenetic analysis adds depth to the understanding of their relationships.
Perfect for both enthusiasts and researchers, our paperback provides a thorough examination of the life cycle and unique characteristics of these New Zealand treasures. At Smartfox NZ, we pride ourselves on offering this indispensable resource directly from Auckland, ensuring a smooth shopping experience with combined shipping available. Enjoy worry-free shopping with no unexpected import charges or custom duties, as this product is stocked in New Zealand.

Periegopid spiders
There are only three species known in the family Periegopidae and all are in one genus, Periegops. These rare spiders have only ever been found in relict forests at limited locations in New Zealand (Banks Peninsula, Riccarton Bush, the Aldermen Islands, and East Cape) and in Queensland, Australia.
Periegopids are only found in forest with a deep leaf litter layer and well-drained soil. They do not build a web, but hunt on the forest floor. Periegopids can be most readily distinguished from other spiders found in New Zealand by having six eyes arranged in three widely spaced diads.
Two species of Periegopidae, both in the genus Periegops Simon 1893, are found in New Zealand; P. suterii (Urquhart, 1892) and a newly described species. In this new Fauna of New Zealand contribution the genus and both species are described or redescribed, with information on synonymy, type data, material examined, and geographical distribution. Habitus images of adults, illustrations of important morphological features, and distribution maps are provided, and a key is given. A molecular phylogenetic analysis examining the relationships between eight specimens of P. suterii and three specimens of the new species using COI data is presented
