摘要

Gynandromorphy has been documented in a variety of spider taxa, including at least fifteen families, but it remains rare relative to the overall diversity of spiders. In this study, we report a case of gynandromorphy in an ant-eating spider, Mallinella sp. (Araneae: Zodariidae), in which a single individual exhibits sexual characteristics of both sexes, along with deformed male and female genitalia. This is the first report of gynandromorphy in the family Zodariidae.
