Anoteropsis litoralis is a species of wolf spider that is endemic to New Zealand.
This species was described in 2002 by Cor Vink. The holotype is stored in the Lincoln University Entomology Research Collection. The name "litoralis" refers to the seashore habitat of the species.[1]
Description
This species can be distinguished from other species of Anoteropsis by its yellow dorsal surface with black markings and several unique features in the male and female reproductive organs. The colouration of this species allows it to easily be camouflaged in sand.[1]
