tree trunk spiders
Murricia is a genus of tree trunk spiders in the family Hersiliidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1882. The genus contains six species distributed across Afro-Asian regions, including Singapore, Sri Lanka, India, and Central Africa. These spiders are characterized by their association with tree bark habitats and possess the elongated spinnerets typical of Hersiliidae.
Murricia uva
Murricia uva is a species of hersiliid spider described by Foord in 2008. It belongs to the family Hersiliidae, commonly known as tree trunk spiders, recognized for their elongated spinnerets and cryptic bark-dwelling habits. The species is documented from Central Africa, with confirmed records spanning Cameroon to Uganda. Like other hersiliids, it likely exhibits the family's characteristic morphology and behavior, though species-specific details remain limited.
