@ForTheSpiders A sad reality in every country, especially Neotropical ones, is that we lose thousands of land areas and with them many undescribed species.
Seed funding from the Museum of Comparative Zoology @MCZHarvard and the American Museum of Natural History @AMNH was essential for this project. Thank you!!!
Thrilled to share this paper dedicated to the memory of Norman Platnick. Here we revised the Scotinella spiders of southeastern US and found 6 new species. Thank you for your help!!!! @GMarielSG@ForTheSpiders Louis Sorkin, Lorenzo Prendini and Pio Colmenares
Very soon I will show you something nice with Phrurolithidae. Guardstone spiders are challenging due to their small size. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of this project.

The first paper of undergrad student Jair Alcántar. We made a complementary description of one Mexican spider of Oecobius and added new distributional data of more species.
