Novakiella trituberculosa is a species of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders, found in Australia and New Zealand.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]N. trituberculosa was originally placed in the now obsolete genus Epeira as E. tri-tuberculata.[2] Carl Friedrich Roewer temporarily moved it to Araneus while dissolving this "catch-all" taxon,[3] and it was later placed into its own genus, Novakia,[4] later renamed to Novakiella.[5]
Description
[edit]The female is recorded at 9mm in length whereas the male is 7.2mm.[4]
Distribution
[edit]This species is native to New Zealand and Australia.[6]
Conservation status
[edit]Under the New Zealand Threat Classification System, this species is listed as "Not Threatened" with the qualifier of "Secure Overseas".[7]
