Zorodictyna inhonesta
Zorodictyna inhonesta is a species of spider in the family Udubidae, found in Madagascar. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1906 as Uduba inhonesta.[1][2] Pekka T. Lehtinen transferred it to the genus Zorodictyna in 1967,[1][3] although Pierre L.G. Benoit was still using the name Uduba inhonesta in 1972.[4]
