Spinozodium is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae.[2]

Distribution

Spinozodium is only known from Tajikistan.[2]

Etymology

The genus name is a combination of Latin "spino-" (referring to spine-like setae on the retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male palp), and the genus ending "-zodium" typical for Zodariidae genera.[1]

S. khatlonicum is named after its type locality, Khatlon Region.[1]

Species

As of January 2026, this genus includes two species:[2]

  • Spinozodium denisi (Spassky, 1938) – Tajikistan
  • Spinozodium khatlonicum Zamani & Marusik, 2022 – Tajikistan
