CRCritically Endangered
Tegenaria hauseri
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tegenaria hauseri faces severe threats from habitat destruction and fragmentation of its cave and underground environments. Human activities including quarrying, construction, and cave disturbance have significantly reduced available habitat. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from even minor environmental changes.
Habitat
This critically endangered spider inhabits deep caves and underground cavities in limestone formations. It requires stable, humid cave environments with consistent temperatures and minimal light penetration.
