Cymbachina
Cymbachina is a monotypic genus of South Pacific crab spiders containing the single species, Cymbachina albobrunnea, found on the Polynesian Islands.[1] The species was first described in 1893 by A. T. Urquhart under the name Xysticus albo-brunnea.[2] As classification became more focused on physical structure rather than colour patterns or teeth on tarsal claws, this species was re-examined in 1933 and placed into its own genus.[3]
