Rhode aspinifera is a species of Slovenian woodlouse spider, found primarily within caves.[1][2]
Description
Mature males have a total length of 3.3–3.4 mm, and females a total length of 3.8–4.6 mm. The carapace and sternum are reddish-brown in colour. A dorsal and a ventral scutum cover almost all of the abdomen. The promargin of the chelicerae has three teeth, and the retromargin has a single denticle. The eyes are completely absent, as their primary habitat is inside caves. The legs are covered in hair, especially on the ventral side of the metatarsi.[2]
