A blow from the past: Acanthoctenus Alux Arizala, Labbarque and Polotow, 2021, an exotic spider in the Netherlands ago (Araneae: Centeee)
Abstract
Exotic species can be introduced accidentally by human activity in regions where they are not natural. Fruit and raises shipments that provide a way in which trapped specifications may accidentally travel long distances to carry, for example, tropical deep regions. Documenting, recognition, and tracking these introductions can help evaluate potential threats of these species can be handcuffed for local biodiversity and, in remarkable cases, human health. We reported a new exotic exotic to the Netherlands from a specimen who got over 60 years ago from a fruit delivery. The species, Acanthoctotus Alux (Arizala, Labbarque and Polotow, 2021), described recently a change in genus Acantetentenus, and learned from female specimen. Here, we provide the documentation of the specimen including outer genitalia, and somatic characters such as eyes, spinnerets, calamistrum, and cribellum.
