Ariamnes makue is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae.[1] Ariamnes makue is only found in Hawaii.[2] The name derives from the Hawaiian word "māku'e", meaning "dark in color".[3]
Ariamnes makue has a long body form, typically a dark brown or black color.[4] The females can grow to be bigger than the males, with males measuring from 5.3-5.7 millimeters (0.21 to 0.22 in) and females measuring from 5.8-6.3 millimeters (0.23 to 0.25 in).[3] Ariamnes makue can be both free-living (non-parasitic) and kleptoparasitic.[4]
