Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition to List Cicurina cueva (No Common Name)

Mon, Dec 19 2005 11:00:00 GMT

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12month finding on a petition to list a karst meshweaver (spider), Cicurina cueva (no common name), under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Since receiving the petition, both a genetic assessment and a reassessment of morphological characters have failed to support the distinctness of C. cueva from two other named Cicurina, C. bandida and C. reyesi. After reviewing all available scientific and commercial information, we find that current information available to us does not support the taxonomic standing of C. cueva as a species, and therefore it is not a listable entity and listing is therefore not warranted.
