Segregara

Segregara is a genus of African armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by R. W. E. Tucker in 1917.[2] As of May 2019 it contains only three species, all found in South Africa: S. abrahami, S. paucispinulosa, and S. transvaalensis.[1] Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was moved to the Idiopidae in 1985.[3]
