Parabatinga
Genus of spiders / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parabatinga is a monotypic genus of South American wandering spiders containing the single species, Parabatinga brevipes. It was first described by D. Polotow & Antônio Brescovit in a 2009 revision of Isoctenus, naming Ctenus brevipes as the female holotype and Ctenus taeniatus as the male holotype.[2] They are found in Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay.[1] The name is derived from the Tupian "paraba", meaning "spot", and "tinga", meaning white, referring to the white spots found on the ventral part of the abdomen.[2]
