Abstract

With little information on this mygalomorph species apart from its morphological characteristics, we report the first sighting of Omothymus schioedtei in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) campus located in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, marked the southernmost extended range in Peninsular Malaysia for this species. The species identity of this previously unknown theraphosidae was confirmed by DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial marker cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). It is anticipated that the COI DNA barcoding technique used for the specimen viewed in this study will be able to provide rapid and accurate identification of spiders.
