Arushina Explained

Arushina is a monotypic genus of East African corinnid sac spiders containing the single species, Arushina dentichelis. It was first described by Lodovico di Caporiacco in 1947,[1] and has only been found in Tanzania.[2] Originally placed with the Dictynidae, it was moved to the Ant spiders in 1967,[3] to the Sac spiders in 1991,[4] then to the Corrinid sac spiders in 2000.[5]
