Ariamnes makue is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae.[1] Ariamnes makue is only found in Hawaii.[2] The name derives from the Hawaiian word "māku'e," meaning "dark in color."[3]
Description
[edit]Ariamnes makue has a long body form, typically a dark brown or black color.[4] The females can grow to be bigger than the males, with males measuring from 5.3-5.7 millimeters (0.21 to 0.22 in) and females measuring from 5.8-6.3 millimeters (0.23 to 0.25 in).[3] Ariamnes makue can be both free-living (non-parasitic) and kleptoparasitic.[4]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]They are endemic to the island of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands.[3] They have been photographed in Kaala, Oahu.[4] They live in mesic environments, specifically near dead ferns.[4]
Taxonomy
[edit]The Ariamnes makue spider is in the genus Ariamnes, part of the family Theridiidae.[5] It is indicated that Ariamnes makue split from Ariamnes uwepa, diversifying their descendants.[4] H. Vanuytven, R. Jocqué, & C. Deeleman-Reinhold suggest Ariamnes makue should be placed in a different genus.[6]
