Steatoda capensis
An introduced species, originally from South Africa. It was spotted in by back yard, Kilbirnie, Wellington NZ, during some garden cleaning. It bit me in the hand, but fortunately I only experienced some itch for about an hour or so, with no other problems... Of course the spider was left unharmed...
