Ctenus hibernalis

Classification

Order
Araneae
Family
Ctenidae

Ctenus hybernalis, Alabama wandering spiders, are wandering spiders (Ctenidae) native to the southeastern United States, primarily Alabama. Taxonomy and nomenclature The species was originally described by Nicholas Marcellus Hentz in 1844 as Ctenus hybernalis. In a subsequent work, Nathan Banks (1898) altered the spelling to Ctenus hibernalis without providing a justification for the change; this constitutes an unjustified emendation under zoological nomenclature.
