Description
Xuriella prima is a small and flattened spider, 3 millimetres (1⁄8 in) long.[2]
Etymology
The species name is derived from the Latin for first as it is the first of the genus to be identified and is thus the type species for the genus Xuriella.[2]
Distribution
Xuriella prima was first described from examples found in the Mkomazi National Park in Tanzania.[1] Subsequently, the species was also identified in South Africa and Zimbabwe.[1][3]
