Pickardinella

Pickardinella is a monotypic genus of Mexican long-jawed orb-weavers containing the single species, Pickardinella setigera.^[1] The species was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge under the name Leucauge setigera,^[2] and was moved to its own genus in 1951.^[3] Physically, they resemble members of Opadometa and Leucauge. Males are very small, only growing up to about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long. A female has never been found.^[3]
