Olin platnicki is the only species in the monotypic spider genus Olin in the family Trachycosmidae. It is native to Christmas Island and Sulawesi. [1]
The genus and species were first described in 2001 by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold. [2] The generic name "Olin" was a random combination of letters, and the specific name "platnicki" is in honour of Norman Platnick. [3]
Olin has long and projected chelicerae, and a relatively broad and low carapace, with the maxillae long and nearly parallel, with depressions laterally. There is little sexual dimorphism and no elongation on the fourth trochanter or coxae. [3]
