Cymbachina
Monotypic genus of spiders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cymbachina is a monotypic genus of South Pacific crab spiders containing the single species, Cymbachina albobrunnea, found on the South Island of New Zealand.[1][2] The species was first described in 1893 by A. T. Urquhart under the name Xysticus albo-brunnea.[3] As classification became more focused on physical structure rather than colour patterns or teeth on tarsal claws, this species was re-examined in 1933 and placed into its own genus.[4]
