A new species of recluse spider, Loxo Celly's Tenochtitlan, has been discovered in Mexico City. It is characterized by its dark brown color and violin pattern on its dorsal section. The spider is unique due to its sensing appendages and the sexual organs of its females. It has a venomous bite that causes a blue-purple ulcer, which is not painful and can be mistaken for a rash.
