M. dizzydeani sp. nov.卵囊的形状、卵囊构造的变异和捕猎技术以及其他行为将M. dizzydeani到减少的圆织蜘蛛（Cyrtarachneae）和无网蜘蛛（Celaeneae）。粘球的结构很复杂，包括大量的挥发性液体和大量扁平的、明显像弹簧一样的线;当它摆动时，它会可逆地伸长。有显着的差异，就个别蜘蛛蛾，他们捕获的物种。成年雌性将猎物重量的35%转化为卵。它们在处理时会产生令人不快的气味。新出现的蜘蛛幼仔显然不做bolas狩猎和捕食小的寄生蝇。雄性并没有出现已经成熟的卵囊，它可能是在卵囊内的同类相食占出现成熟的男性在其他物种。
M. dizzydeani sp. nov. is described. The form of the egg sac, variations in bolas construction and hunting technique, and other behaviors link M. dizzydeani to both reduced-orb weavers (Cyrtarachneae) and webless araneids (Celaeneae). The sticky ball is structurally complex and includes both a substantial portion of volatile liquid and a mass of flattened, apparently spring-like thread; it elongates reversibly when it is swung. There was significant variation between individual spiders with respect to the species of moths that they captured. Adult females converted about 35% of the weight of their prey into eggs. They produce an unpleasant odor when handled. Newly emerged spiderlings apparently hunted without making a bolas and preyed on small nematocerous flies. Males did not emerge already mature from egg sacs and it may be that cannibalism within egg sacs accounts for the emergence of mature males in other species.
