Zelotes pinos
Zelotes pinos is a species of ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae, described by Platnick and Shadab in 1983. As a member of the genus Zelotes, it shares characteristics typical of this diverse group of wandering hunters. The specific epithet "pinos" likely refers to the type locality in the Pinos Altos region of New Mexico, where the species was first documented. Like other gnaphosids, this spider is a nocturnal ground-dwelling predator.
