Anoteropsis adumbrata is a species of Lycosidae spider that is endemic to New Zealand.[1]
This species was described as Lycosa adumbrata in 1887 by Arthur Urquhart from a female specimen.[2] It was most recently revised in 2002, in which the male was described. The holotype is stored in Canterbury Museum.[1]
Description
The male is recorded at 5.6-8.2mm in length whereas the female is 4.9-10.4mm. The carapace is coloured orange brown with yellow brown markings dorsally. The legs are yellow brown with dark markings. The abdomen colouration varies, but usually is usually grey brown with a yellow stripe dorsally. It is best distinguished from other Anoteropsis by the shape of its genitalia.[1]
