Thymoites pictipes

(Banks, 1904)

Thymoites pictipes is a spider in the Theridiidae (cobweb spiders), first described by Nathan Banks in 1904. The Thymoites is part of a diverse family of web-building spiders, though specific biological details for this particular species remain poorly documented in available literature. The species name 'pictipes' refers to the presumably patterned or colored legs (from Latin 'pictus' meaning painted or colored, and 'pes' meaning foot).
