Anopsolobus is a monotypic genus of Polynesian araneomorph spiders in the family Orsolobidae containing the single species, Anopsolobus subterraneus. It was first described by Raymond Robert Forster & Norman I. Platnick in 1985,[2] and is only known from Nelson in New Zealand.
"Anopsolobus" refers to the absence of eyes and "subterraneus" refers to the habitat this species was found in.[2]
Anopsolobus subterraneus was described in 1985 by Raymond Forster and Normal Platnick from one female specimen. The specimen was found 4 meters underground in a bore using a trap intended to collect interstitial aquatic animals, but instead caught terrestrial animals when the water table receded.[2]
Anopsolobus is suggested to be closely related to the genus Tangata.[2]
The only specimen is 1.96mm in length, is unpigmented and notably has no eyes. The body is densely covered in hairs.
