Anasaitis canalis is a species of spider from the genus Anasaitis. [1] It was originally described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1925.
Anasaitis canalis was originally named as Saitis canalis. It is a spider of about 4 mm in length. This little spider has a dusky brown behind, with the eye region black with some purple and green reflections. It is also covered with yellowish-gray hair, but the first and second legs have long black hair.
Anasaitis canalis was originally described by a specimen found on Barro Colorado Island, an island in the Panama Canal. Recent observation place this species primarily in Central America, [2] although it has also been reported from the Caribbean region of Colombia. [3]
