Zoma zoma is a species of ray spider (family Theridiosomatidae) that is endemic to Silhouette Island of Seychelles.[2][3] It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.[citation needed] To date Zoma only contains its type species Zoma Zoma.[3] The name of Zoma refers to the belt of silvery corpuscles on the abdomen of the type species.[3] Not much is known about males of the species. Females have a total length, not including chelicerae, of 1.79 mm (.07 inches).[3] It is threatened by habitat degradation from invasive plants, such as Cinnamomum verum.[1]
