Ciba is a genus of Caribbean wandering spiders first described in 2014. [2] As of April 2019 [update] it contains only two species. [1] It is one of two species of eyeless spiders found in a Hispaniola cave. The non-expression of eyes and eye pigment in Ciba spiders is an energy-saving adaption in response to their dark cave habitat. [2]
