Siskiyu is a monotypic genus of spiders in the family Cybaeidae containing the single species, Siskiyu armilla.[1]
Distribution
Siskiyu armilla has been recorded from northern California and southern Oregon.[1]
Etymology
The genus is named after the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains that encompass much of the known distribution of this genus.[2] The specific name is from Latin "armilla" (ring, bracelet), referring to the conspicuous ring-like patellar fracture lines.
