Orchestina maureen
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Orchestina maureen faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbance. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional pressures on the remaining suitable habitat patches.
Habitat
This critically endangered spider species inhabits specialized microhabitats within rocky outcrops and cave systems in limestone formations. It requires specific moisture and temperature conditions found in protected crevices and underground chambers.
