Loureedia annulipes
A beautiful spider covered with colorful velvet markings. Very rare in the area.
It was found in an area near my home in Surman, Libya. It lives underground and
Being a velvet spider that lives underground, the genus was named after musician Lou Reed, lead singer of the group Velvet Underground. L. annulipes was formerly considered a member of Eresus.
