Octonoba sinensis
(Simon, 1880)
Octonoba sinensis is a cribellate orb-weaving spider in the Uloboridae. Native to East Asia, it has been introduced to the United States. As a member of Uloboridae, it lacks venom glands and instead uses a cribellum—a specialized silk-producing organ—to create sticky capture threads.
