Journal Title: REVISTA CHILENA DE ENTOMOLOGÍA - Year 2022, Vol 48, Issue 3
Abstract
The presence of the spider Zygiella x-notata (Clerck) is recorded for the first time for Tarapacá Region (Chile), based on specimens captured in coastal rocks (breakwater) of Iquique city. The colonization of this species in this type of artificial coastal structures and its possible expansion to the rest of the city is discussed.
