Cymbachina

Cymbachina is a monotypic genus of South Pacific crab spiders containing the single species, Cymbachina albobrunnea, found on the South Island of New Zealand.^[1][2] The species was first described in 1893 by A. T. Urquhart under the name Xysticus albo-brunnea.^[3] As classification became more focused on physical structure rather than colour patterns or teeth on tarsal claws, this species was re-examined in 1933 and placed into its own genus.^[4]
