Bertrana is a genus of Central and South American orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1884. [3] It includes some of the smallest known araneid orb-weavers. [4] [5] Bertrana striolata females are 4.5 mm long or less. [4] [5] The eight eyes are in two rows. The abdomen is white on top and on the sides, with multiple hieroglyphic-like lines and bars of many different shapes and length. In females, these are red, in males, black. [6]
Species
As of April 2019 [update] it contains twelve species: [1]
- Bertrana abbreviata (Keyserling, 1879) – Colombia
- Bertrana arena Levi, 1989 – Costa Rica
- Bertrana benuta Levi, 1994 – Colombia
- Bertrana elinguis (Keyserling, 1883) – Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, French Guiana
