Misionella

Misionella is a genus of South American crevice weavers that was first described by M. J. Ramírez & C. J. Grismado in 1997.[2] In 2005 a spider fossil found in 15- to 20-million-year-old Miocene amber from the Dominican Republic was described as Misionella didicostae.[3] A second specimen was discussed soon thereafter.[4]
