Olin platnicki is the only species in the monotypic spider genus Olin in the family Trachycosmidae. It is native to Christmas Island and Sulawesi.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus and species were first described in 2001 by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold.[2] The generic name "Olin" was a random combination of letters, and the specific name "platnicki" is in honour of Norman Platnick.[3]

Characteristics

Olin has long and projected chelicerae, and a relatively broad and low carapace, with the maxillae long and nearly parallel, with depressions laterally. There is little sexual dimorphism and no elongation on the fourth trochanter or coxae.[3]
