Trachelopachys cingulipes
species of arachnid
Trachelopachys cingulipes is a species of araneomorph spider from the family Trachelidae. It was first described by French naturalist, Eugène Simon, in 1886.
Distribution
This species is endemic to Argentina, in particular the province of Buenos Aires. It is mostly found in gardens, but it can venture into the walls of houses in search of prey, which includes mostly other small arthropods (such as spiders, small beetles, ants, etc.).
Description
As a hunting spider, it has eight front-facing eyes to help with hunting. Its body measures between 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) and is of a greyish coloration, with four black spots in its abdomen as well as a black "wave" pattern. One of its most distinguishing features is their bright orange legs with black spots.

Why this record matters
“Trachelopachys cingulipes” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Trachelopachys, cingulipes and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2082709. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1886.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
