Zephyrarchaea vichickmani

Zephyrarchaea vichickmani, the Central Highlands assassin spider, is a spider in the family Archaeidae.

The species was first described by Michael G. Rix and Mark Harvey in 2012.

[1][2] The species' specific name is a patronym to honour Prof. Victor Hickman for his contributions to arachnology.

[2] The spider is known to inhabit only temperate Nothofagus rainforest habitats in the Victorian Central Highlands, in leaf litter.

[2] The species has a limited distribution, however, the abundance of protected habitat around its known range means that it probably does not require immediate conservation efforts.
