#NewSpecies of #PirateSpiders discovered on South Atlantic island https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2024/february/new-species-pirate-spiders-discovered-south-atlantic-island.html
Two new sympatric species of the pirate #spider genus Ero C.L. Koch, 1836 from the cloud forest of #SaintHelena Island, South Atlantic Ocean https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/2417
"Having been confused for a closely related species, the 2 new #spiders have been hiding out on #StHelena for decades. Now newly recognised, it’s hoped the spiders will provide added impetus to preserve the island’s threatened #CloudForest."
